Lately I stared at myself in disgust ,
how could you ?
It was something so beautiful ,
destroy it ..why would you ?
It was your everything and you reduced it nothing
,how dare you ?
You let lies, deceit, and paranoia ensnare you,
why would you ?
It was our one true piece of happiness our future and you sabotaged it,
Who are you ?
Maybe its time I suppress you
And Progress without you
Because when it comes to our happiness you’ve constantly shown no concern
It’s time to let you drift like the beautiful embers in the wind as the Phoenix burns
You were our greatest obstacle
There with every turn
I guess it took our final loss
For me to learn
Goodbye My doubt, good bye my insecurity,
I have lived my life with you pursuing and
Sabotaging me
I am finally comprehending who I really am
Those false pretenses no longer shackle my hands and wings
May I fly like Phoenix and you drift away like the embers in the breeze
