"The Pain That Lives Inside"

Everyday I wake up thanking GOD 

For all he has brought me through

But I still hold on to all that 

Happened to me as I

Was growing up 

Sometimes the feeling of 

Being stuck in the past 

And walking forward

With my back turned

Makes me realize that 

I'm missing out on 

Being happy and successful....

Now its time that I let go of all 

The heartaches, stress, frustration,

Irritation and aggravation

I'm sick and tired of being 

Lost, confused, hurt, 

Shattered, abandoned, broken, 

Depressed, abused and  misused. 

I'm no longer letting my past 

Define me, destroy me but 

It's time I let it strengthen me..

It's time that I put up a fight

And start to overcome all

That's holding me from past

After all this adversity 

I've had in my past 

I learned how to forgive 

Those who hurt me, used me 

Abused and mistreated me

I can't open another 

Chapter in my life if 

I just keep letting the 

Past interfere with my future...

Can't stop my heart 

From hurting when there's

Always a bruise but 

This is who I am...

So you may judge me off

Of the things I do or 

Say but you will 

Never ever know the

Depths of my story

or all the things that 

I've been through

No one can feel my pain....
