At long last, at the place where it all sort of started, I found the strength to do it. A part of me can barely believe it, but others scream warcries of victory. Today I threw away the parts of myself I was most ashamed of. And as I watched the symbol of my mistakes plummet towards the watery abbys, I felt a tremble. No more illusion and pretense. No more lying and trying to please everyone. No longer shall I apologise for who I am, or find excuses for who I am not. Those of you who left, will only see from a far, the man this boy will be, and as it turns out, he just started growing.
The day that you left, was only my beginning. Think you got the best of me, and had the last laugh? I bet you think everything good is gone, that you left me brokendown, and that I'd come running back. But baby you're dead wrong, because I'm not lonely when I'm alone. Thanks to you I've got a new thing started. Thanks to you I'm not the broken hearted and I'm finally thinking about me. I'd thank you for making me a fighter too, but really, I've always been one, and honey, I always will.
