Thoughts of mind

Because of my past  
 I know where you belong.  
 
It's only for my weakness  
 that I had now become so strong.  
 
I lost my voice too many times
the one that tells me how I                
 shine.  
 
Sometime after  
 I had broken from your spell.  
 
I start to see my happiness  
 I missed so very well.  
 
I opened up my eyes one night  
 alert to walls that held me tight.
 
 Lies that kept me weak inside
the ones that made me hide my pride.
 
I took the wish I held so tight
and fled that dream that very night.
