Now
Now everything is changing
Everything is evolving before my eyes
Though I am blind
No one that used to be around me is
They have not disappeared their faces still remain
I used to be so close to them I don't even know why
They were not true to me they only gave me poison
Exposed me to deception and fed me lies I believed to be truth
I was beyond wrong
I'm surrounded by walls buried in the house of my insecurities
Still I fear
What will happen if I let them down?
Today I could explode
Of course my struggle is far from over
Some memories I will never escape
It will never be totally over
Now I'm learning to live for what feels like the first time
I'm caged though my heart is slowly coming out from behind the iron bars of my pain's making
I am surrounded now not by what feels like poison but peace
Finally someone may not give up on me even as I push they love me anyway
Taking my past and my mistakes as for what they are
As a past filled with mistakes
I don't quite look at it in the same way anymore
They are the road leading where I was
To them and to God
My mistakes are only what they are
I can lay down the past where I felt so empty and alone
Looking toward the rest of my life
Now never alone
