Weights Lifted
weights lifted...
weights that kept me unfocused
weights that kept me from love for so long
weights too heavy to lift back then
weights that kept the "ing" of off mend
weights that kept me crying at night
now the cryings stopped for I no longer have to fight
Friends said I lost my mind
My mama said its only a matter of time
she knew i would be just fine
atleast after i was completely done thinking of you
missing you
wishing dreaming, remeniscing all about you
Realized long ago I didn't need you in my life
weights lifted because I've realized why
Slowly...
Got it...
Look up at my weights to find there meanings were forgotten
Loves, charms, romances, slow moving dances
Lost chances
quick glances
Realized it wasn't the prances my heart felt so deep
but the fact that I didn't know why it ended so steep
I took that leap
found out much later its no so hard to lift weights
the weights i carried so easily lifted
i searched for my past, evaluated
made sum compromises
shut out demons my mind invaded
the tastes of courage and strength had my insides salivatin
weights lifted
weights that are no longer heavy because im no longer a fool
after years I feel like i've always wanted to
all theses years now i know what to do
all these days and now i know i can play
all these months and now i can live another day
but I'll be glad to inform my old ways of fools
that i can not,
will not
lift another pound or ounce, that i'm brand new
no more weights will be lifted for you
