Tell Them, When I Let Go

Tell them that I am happy now

That I awake every morning with a smile

Tell them that the world is no longer a scary place

Tell them another lie thats, “worth while”

Tell them that I am happy in my loneliness

That I gave up waiting for them to love me

Tell them that I’m alone with nothing but my thoughts

And I hope they are happy with what I now believe

Tell them that they no longer control me

That I can live a happy life alone in my mind

Tell them that they no longer have a reason

To stick a dulled knife in my heart from behind

Tell them that I am trying to forgive

Tell them I am doing it for myself and not them

Tell them that it is taking all that I have

Tell them I am trying letting go of the hate I hold within

And then tell them they will never see me again

When I let go of the look in their subtle smile

And then tell them that I will be happy when I do

Because they have been the source of my pain for a while

When I let go, only then will I learn to hold a smile

The weight in my soul shall be a feather in the wind

I know that God looks down on me form above

HE!!! Has always been my one and only friend
