Forgiven Past

The wonderful words of the speaker

Not a dry eye in the crowd

All silence not one sound

The emotion in the room was suffocating me

As I looked around the room

Painful hope was all I could see

A month ago the words would've made me cry

But I've learned who I am and what I could be

As the pain finally slips by

I'm seeing a new light

That's meant for me

It's come to stop the fight and control the bleed

My life had changed

And so had my heart

I knew it would be hard from the start

It's at the end now

Of my hard, long journey to freedom

Freed from your thought and emotional strain

I knew I'd move on, but how?

By letting go of you and letting go of the pain

Sometimes I start to fall but know I must refrain

I'm better than that

I control me now

I'm calling the shots

I'll determine what my brain is thinking

And what it's not

I don't hate you

I would love to be in the past

To bad you can't rewind

You went by to fast

I want to be happy

And by letting go there's more

Thank you for ruining part of my life

Next time you knock at my door

I'm turning away all your strife

You stir up old emotions

But I'm in real speed

I thank you for giving a reason to believe

In something other than you

That brought me so much relief

So thank you and goodnight

For I won't say this again

You were the past and this is the present

Your are GONE but happily forgiven
