Strength from within

No more fear, no more pain
never again will I take the blame
your anger was a force to behold
a way to get me to do as I'm told
cuts and bruises are all healed
but deeper wounds will never yield
a single tear escapes my eye
when I think how easy I could have died
children damaged beyond repair
all because you were there
as I lay upon my bed
notions drifting within my head
through the window I see the trees
gently swaying in the breeze
clouds are scattered throughout the sky
like broken promises drifting by
I close my eyes and think of you
all the things you said you'd do
but since I've gone, walked out the door
my love for you is no more
I'd felt the pain for oh so long
but now I'm back and twice as strong.
