Resurrection- a song fic one-shot to Linkin Park's "Part of Me"

I could it feel it. I could feel the beast tearing, ripping, begging to be free. All this time I had forced it down, away from who I thought I was. The pain etched into my veins slowly, driving me closer to the brink of insanity with each passing day. I held on, determined not to betray the people I loved and cared about…

Part of me won't go away
Every day reminded how much I'm hated
Weighted against the consequences,
Can't live without it so it's senseless
Want to cut it out of my soul
And just live with a gaping hole
Take control of my life
Wash out all the burnt taste
I made the problems in the first place

Then, one day, I let go. I felt my mind clouded by the true person that I had been hiding for so long. My heart felt free; the true feelings had taken control. The last of the illusion screamed to hold on with one last plea, but it was ignored. A new day of new beginnings was shining in the horizon; I wasn't about to give that up…

Freedom can be frightening if you've never felt it
Once it's been dealt with
You feel like you've been touched by something angelic
And then melted down into a pool of peace
Cease to be,
The animal you used to be
Removed the broken parts you know were wrong,
And feel the calm when the problems all gone,
And then you start to see
A little piece of yourself that you can't let be

Instinct guided me into this life; I had cut the strings that once held me so close. Memories washed away like a new tide, then ceased to exist. I didn't have to say good bye, and I didn't have to hope anymore. It was that day that I began to truly believe. I had the power to change things. Change them into the way I wanted them. Time would not heal these wounds.

Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams violently, silently
Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams violently, silently
This part of me won't go away.
