Lifted
my soul gets so lifted
taking on a new thrill
but life can be twisted
and start turning downhill
i never saw it coming
and like a snake in the grass
you latched yourself on me
and broke me like glass
but no!
no this can not be
how did i not see
my soul has been lifted
by a liar and his will
who knew you were so gifted
at stealing others skills
now i dont remember
what my opionion was
you took it from me
and replaced it with your own
but no!
no more will i listen
and cower at your scorn
i said my soul has been lifted
from the guilt i have bore
no you werent so gifted
at concealing your dark soul
im scarred and im distant
but love harder in goodwill
im young and ill chase it
my dreams are out there still
and no!
no need to prove
just take a walk in my shoes
i said my soul has been lifted
now higher ever still
my path may be twisted
but ill live it with strong will
taking on a new thrill
but life can be twisted
and start turning downhill
i never saw it coming
and like a snake in the grass
you latched yourself on me
and broke me like glass
but no!
no this can not be
how did i not see
my soul has been lifted
by a liar and his will
who knew you were so gifted
at stealing others skills
now i dont remember
what my opionion was
you took it from me
and replaced it with your own
but no!
no more will i listen
and cower at your scorn
i said my soul has been lifted
from the guilt i have bore
no you werent so gifted
at concealing your dark soul
im scarred and im distant
but love harder in goodwill
im young and ill chase it
my dreams are out there still
and no!
no need to prove
just take a walk in my shoes
i said my soul has been lifted
now higher ever still
my path may be twisted
but ill live it with strong will
This Poems Story
I wrote this as a song a year after I was freed from my abuse. It gives me strength and courage to know I can lift myself back up from anything that knocks me down. Just by loving myself more, by caring more, by doing more. No matter how much pain we endure there is never a reason to not lift your head up to face this world.
