Release

All the Anger and Frustration
I gave it all back
The heartache and Confusion
Past fights and crooked tracks
The lies and broken promises
The discouraging words
The sadness, The darkness
The memories, Everything I heard

I'm giving back the rumors
The downfall and evil
The weakness, the tears
And all the negative people

I am no longer the garbage
The toilet bowl, the trash
The container for the rubbish
See all of that is in the past

I'm taking back my strength,
My respect, My life
I'm laying down my attitude
And my temper, not thinking twice
I'm refusing to be stuck
To be down, to be trapped
I'm fueling up my fire
And I'm going up to bat

No more name calling and back stabbing
no more childish fights
Disagreements about nothing
No this time, I'll do things right
I'm honoring myself
And the person God made me
The person life made me
And the decisions that saved me

I'm listening to me
I'm fighting for a cause
I'm giving back your garbage
So take it......It's yours

Weathering the Storm

Waves crashing, wind blowing
I'm left, then I'm right
My hair blowing around and now I've lost my sight
I'm running for cover
and dodging the blows
From the storm that is roaring
I'm about to explode
From fear, from pain
from remembering this dilemma
from repeating this story
and not triumphing a winner
from ignoring my core and going back for some more
when the next time is still no better than before
still searching for answers I already know
Not trusting myself and knowing when it's time to let go
What happened to the love that used to sit within?
Why had all the confidence come to an end?
Being swallowed by the waves
lungs running out of air
looking for ways to survive and still you're not there
still crying and lonely, still fighting the storm
The same arms I used to run to, no longer keep me warm
no longer keep me safe
I feel I've been replaced
All this worrying and hurt has me wandering in space
I'm up and I'm down, my tears don't make a sound
my voice tired of screaming, my heart on the ground
My hands pressed together, eyes up to the sky
No more left inside, no more need to try
That storm was the end, the finale to my saga
I'm done with all the lies, all the games all the drama
I pulled and I pushed and fought for what I thought was mine
But I was fighting by myself
And you....never gave your time
Worn out, soaking wet, ship sunk, riches lost
I'm leaving with what I have left
giving you back all the hell you brought
I've weathered the last storm, the last flood, the last drought
I'm counting my losses, I've found my way out!
