Set Free

The sadness is slowly leaving me
over time I will be finally set free
from the inner turmoil, hurt and pain
and myself I can finally reclaim
The memories are starting to fade away
no longer haunting me everyday
My heart is slowly trying hard to mend
I've even made a few close friends
My anxiety I've got better control
starting to feel human like i have a soul
the need to self medicate is becoming less
because i am no longer under the enormous stress
My family have noticed the huge change in me
and the past they have forgiven entirely
My road has had many twists and a long bend
as i look back it's hard to fully comprehend
never in a million years would I dream
that someone could take my worth and self esteem
and the everlasting effect it would take
the time I would need to start to heal from the heartache
I have come a long way, still a long way to go
at last some dreams and desires to follow
At last i'm starting to become comfortable in my skin
the next stage of my life I can now begin
