So long I'd been convinced
That I was only "me" with you,
That without you I'd be empty,
And there was nothing I could do.
I thought you made me happy,
I thought you kept me free,
But now you're gone, and look-
I can finally be me!
You weighed me down with judgement,
Choked me with disdain,
As it turns out, all you ever brought
Was endless, aching pain.
My heart's never felt so heavy
As it was beneath your feet.
But somehow I've escaped,
And I truly feel complete.
My skin is clearing up,
There's a light behind my eyes,
It's a shame it took so long
For me to finally realize!
Though at first I missed you,
It took a while to move on,
I'm finding my true self again
Now that you are gone.
