Don’t let me say I love you when I don’t.
Don’t let me say you are wonderful when you are not.
Don’t let me accept all the beatings and bruises, while keeping a smile in place.
Let me keep getting stronger and stronger.
Let me build my self-worth a bit at a time.
Let me tuck away a bit of humour to support me.
Reminding me of the approaching better times.
Soon I will face the future without you.
Soon I will do everything I want to.
Soon I will be beautiful again with no bruises shining through.
Music will send my heart singing and maybe a dance or two.
Now I feel confident I am on my way.
Now I will have a new place to stay.
Now I feel ready to live a new life on my own.
Oh, what an adventure; a bit scary maybe.
However, it will be my life, run only by me.
I have cut the strings and I am now free of you.
