I'm walking away from you
for everytime you hit me
for everytime you ever made me cry
and mom just sat and watched
for everytime you called me a coward
when you hid in the bottle
in the straw
in the joints
I remeber when you and mom would fight
I'd hide in my room crying
wishing you'd just die
but today I forgive you
and with each year you grow old
and miserable
I wont be there
for you to break me down
because through all this pain
and all this punishment
I realize you cant move forward
when staring at the cracks in the ground
so today I'm looking at the sky
and I'm crying tears of joy
because the bruises fade
but the happiness in being free
will not
