I Am Not The Same

I

AM

NOT

THE

SAME

A GRADUAL REALISATION
BUT IT’S TRUE
I HARBOUR NO HARD FEELINGS
TOWARDS YOU
LETTING GO OF HATRED AND ANGER
WAS THE BEST THING I COULD DO
AFTER ALL
I’M RELEASHING ME AND NOT YOU!

JUSTIFIED I MAY BE
BUT I CAN NOW LOOK YOU
STRAIGHT IN THE EYE
NO LONGER INTERESTED IN
THE WHERE FORES AND
THE WHYS
REJECTING ANY LABELS
WANTING TO ATTACH ITSELF
TO ME

I’M NO VICTIM
AND DEFINITELY DON’T NEED SYMPATHY
OR EVEN YOUR
APOLOGY
IN FACT THIS HAS ONLY
STRENTHENED ME
AND GIVEN ME INSIGHT INTO
MY ABILITY TO FIGHT
AND TAKE BACK WHAT
BELONGS TO ME……….

MY DIGNITY

I

AM

NOT

THE

SAME

THE PERSON YOU ONCE KNEW
AGREED WITH EVERY WORD YOU SAID
STOOD SILENT IN YOUR PRESCENCE
ONLY SPOKE
WHEN YOU SAID I COULD
LOOKED FOR YOUR APPROVAL IN ALL THINGS
DESPITE THE BEATINGS
DIDN’T THINK I SHOULD
ARGUE AFTER ALL YOU WERE DOING
EVERYTHING FOR MY GOOD

REVERTING TO YOUR
OLD TRICKS OF BLAME
THIS TIME IT’S NOT GONNA WORK
SO YOU BETTER THINK AGAIN
TRYING TO CONVINCE ME
IT’S ALL IN MY HEAD
YOU ONLY WANT WHATS BEST FOR ME
AND DO NOT WANT ME HURT
BUT THE PHYSICAL SCARS
ARE EVIDENCE OF
YOUR WICKEDNESS INSTEAD
BRUTISH BEHAVIOUR
MANIPULATION
MENTAL BREAKDOWN
CONVINCING ME I AM WRONG
BABY I’M NO LONGER WEARING ROSE
TINTED GLASSES
AND I’M SINGING A NEW SONG

I

AM

NOT

THE

SAME


I am now free from your chains
