Renewal

I followed your plan like you said,
But you just really want me dead.
You lied to me my whole life
Encouraging me to pick up the knife
But your deceit ends here
And I won’t be ruled by fear
This is my life to own
Half of which you’ve blown
I need to be who I was born to be
And finally live my life for me
Who cares what your opinions are
For now I will live without a scar
I feel renewed and blessed
Now that I’m no longer depressed
This is the life I always strived for
And my heart will search no more.
