A poem about breaking away.
Better off without you


You left me contorted, distorted...Like a piece of thrash discarded...

I would've died for you I cried for you...Boy if I'd only knew...

Your words were a lie didn't apply...I still ask myself why...

Why did I let you use me abuse me...All you did was confuse me...

Black eyes hidden, arms bitten...Downward spiral into depression...

My heart was open, and hoping...Now it's closed it's broken...

Everybody has to go through the fire, walk the wire...I came through entire

You tried your best to break me, to overtake me...But you mistake me...

I made choices I now regret..Things I can't forget...My life is not over yet...

You can't condemn me for my past, I lived fast...But look at my end's overcast...

You feel stupid because I'm still moving, better I'm choosing...My life is improving

But you still in the hole you dug for me, was smug to me...Now you looking up at me
