You lifted me up.
Took me to a place faraway
A place where I could belong.
Up in the clouds
Where the angels soared across the skies
Dancing with fairies.
Finally I felt like I belonged.
I could be me
And not fear what others thought.
After battling with words and swords,
I could rest and let the scars heal.
You lifted me up and I was safe.
Slowly, oh so slowly,
I started to fall.
Slow enough that no one saw.
Now I’m stuck, trying to claw my way out.
Old wounds are reopening,
Blood and tears fall across the ground.
A ground where the devil controls the outcomes,
Where demons crawl
Fighting to be number one.
I realize now, that you only threw me to the winds
Letting me rise up, only to fall again,
And not being there to catch me.
You threw me to the winds
And now I am falling,
Paying the price of trusting you.
You moved on,
Faster than the soaring angels.
Just like the warring demons who won a fight only to move on to the next.
You took your turn
At making me happy
Just like everyone else has.
But just like them
You left me to the dogs
Not wanting to remember that I am just another person.
But now,
Now it is my turn.
My turn to move forward.
I’m on my own
But for once,
I’m not afraid.
I can look up at the sky
And see the outlines of the angels and fairies.
Finally, I can see where I am to go.
You may have thrown me to the winds
And left me to fall
But now I know.
So thank you.
It’s my turn to move on,
Now that I know where to go.
You had your turn,
So now,
I guess it is my turn to move on from here.
