I called you home

And graced you with my thoughts

even though you treated me as a foreigner

I stayed and prayed

that one day you would be good to me

You shunned me,rejected me

Convinced me you were the best

so I put you above all the rest

and called you the home I loved

           And then one day I left

           Never to return.

Scared of starting over

and leaving you behind

I thought you brought me kindness

I thought you brought me strength

but much later, I would find out

you're the one I would not thank

Being in different surroundings

has now caused me to open my eyes

And helped me to realize

what I was to blind to see

I curse you know for what you have done to me

Brought me sadnee and sorrow

wanting to die before tomorrow

But I did'nt.

almost.

But my hope did

And in the midst of the rain and the lightning

I gainded something good from you

only one thing

a lesson so true

I learned a thing called bravery

The bravery and courage to carry on

And hold my head high through the times

the only thing you gave me

For now, I no longer call you home

You are the past

The hell I'm proud to say

That I have survived.
