1.2.3*(*(*(*my Life*) *) *) *3.2.1

Rating: 5.0


Back trackin' over all that's been goin' on
I use to have this and that and way too much of those

People can't seem to understand why I chose
To live without all of that stuff

The way I look at it, I wasn't happy
Life was just as tough

Hell I haven't changed... I still don't carry a purse
Why should I have to always explain myself

I'd like more than anything to put all worries and stress
on a shelf

Forget about the bad choices and the facts of life where I
look like a fool

Drown my memories of being an undesired woman in a
lake or pool

So many pictures of you and I ~ of what I use to be
The day I decided to shut that door
I became Free!

My inner light gives me the strength to continue to fight!
You once had me so afraid to see what was in front

Stayed well camophlaged with in this maze I created
You kept telling others it was just a phaze

If only you knew then, just how strong I built those corridors

You took me for granted as I was a grand collection
As if you were keepin' scores!

Today, tomorrow, and years to come
My heart wont be filled with all those unexplained fears

Some would say that I shine much brighter
Now that I've learned to put up my dukes and became a
Well known fighter!

Now every step I take, every move I make
I know that the ones I'm with aren't fake!

That's such a relief to know that
I now have faith in this belief!

Don't get me wrong, I still have fears way strong
Tears that I can't control

Times where I have to have help just to go for a quick stroll
Waking up due to nightmares of the past

A 'don't give a shit attitude', at last!
I'm definately not the same girl anymore

Life has sure put my heart in a tilt 'o' whirl
A continuous spin that makes me ill

Now I have to take so many damn pills
A life I wouldn't even want to put you through

Not complaining, don't take me wrong
Just tellin' it how it is

I call this lifa a bitter-sweet bliss!
Don't worry I'll keep you updated

Beginning to wonder if my names being over rated
And my words I jot down are marginally over stated.
