The lies of the past

Haunt the near present.

They cry out for the innocent soul

They have begun to conquer.

Her tears show the pain and torture crashing upon

Her heart.

The heart that can no longer

Take any more pain.

Deep within the shadows

She looks for the truth

She has yet to find.

As she stumbles to the cold, hard ground.

She lies on her bruised back watching the stars above,

Wondering how it became the way it's now become.

She finally stands on her own two feet and runs.

Runs from the fear.

Runs from the pain and abuse.

No more of her tears will be wasted.

The truth comes to her sight

And she realizes she's finally done.

She'll live today and no more lies

Shall taunt the future coming.

The nightmares have died and for once

Begun to hide.

And she is finally free.

She is who she is.

Nothing will conquer her again.
