GOODBYE

A canopy washes over me,
Of clear tranquility.
A slow motion of what I call home,
Yet once again I am nothing but alone.
Why would I want or need support?
I've never been the type or the sort.
Freedom is my very soul and desire...
It's unquenchable, a spirit of fire!
I pause and moan yet there's no regrets,
This is me, this is my best.
I can't be who you want me to be,
My bed is set though rebelliously.
You who try to catch and trap,
It's an impossible feat from your own wrath.
I may be going about a supernatural way,
But stop trying to make me pay, I can't stay!
I told you once, and I'll tell you twice,
No regrets was filled with that night.
A taste of freedom, a bite of love,
Woven through the darkness and moon above.
My life is now about to begin,
It may be a lie, it may be a sin.
I'm willing to give and I will sacrifice,
But for those I don't love I won't pay the price.
There are a few of those who deserve,
My love in full and never unturned.
I love my brother, I love my babe,
I would die for them, I'd be willing to save.
In honesty as my parents I don't love you...
The words will stop since no longer true.
In your eyes I'm too broken, too far...
You say to come back but with a willing heart.
But I love me, and I can't stop...
No more will I mend what's already been lost.
I have bled for you and bathed in blood,
I did it in hatred, not in love.
But these scars that you see,
Will not ruin, kill, or drown me.
I'm a fighter, I've always been!
A diamond in the rough, but never a gem.
I will go my own way and you can't stop...
These feelings that have amounted from my broken heart.
I tried to start over, I tried to start new...
But for once I'm pleasing me instead of you.
This is my letter for goodbye...
I have no regrets, I will not lie.
An adventure awaits, an adventure begins.
I'm going to follow what you call my sins.
But being true to myself will be enough.
The road will be long, the road will be tough.
So let me go this path I've chosen,
The 18 years are up and your authority frozen.
Maybe again I'll see you from time to time...
But I now love myself and it's no crime!
Goodbye, goodbye!  I smile as I write!
Here I am about to take flight.
