I'm so gone

Song and thoughts of growing up, moving on, and saying goodbye

“Insecure

In her skin

Like a puppet, a girl on a string”

That girl was me. 

I was your puppet

Did everything I was told.

“Broke away

Learned to fly

If you want her back, gotta let her shine”

I grew up.

The girl you used to know?

She left, just like you did.

“So, it looks like the joke's on you

'Cuz the girl that you thought you knew”

How’s it feel? 

To know nothing about your daughter.

“She's so gone

That's so over now

She's so gone

You won't find her around

You can look but you won't see

The girl I used to be

'Cuz she, she's so gone”

I’m not running back. 

You’ve lost the part me you ever truly had.

I’m so gone. 

Ready to follow my own path.

You want me back?

That won’t happen, because...

That girl is gone.

“Here I am

This is me

And I'm stronger than you ever thought I'd be”

Look around.

What do you see?

I see me and a quaint little family.

“Are you shocked?

Are you mad?

That your missin' out on who I really am”

Is this what you pictured?

You not being apart of my life?

I’ll be the bigger person this time.

“Now it looks like the joke's on you

'Cuz the girl that you thought you knew”

How’s it feel,

To know I can live without a dad?

“She's so gone

That's so over now

She's so gone

You won't find her around

You can look but you won't see

The girl I used to be

'Cuz she, she's so gone”

I’ll be strong.

On my own.

Don’t need you and your petty thrown.

It’s complete.

Battle’s lost and won.

There won’t be any more victories for you.

Because you lost what should be important.

“Away, like history, 

She's so gone, 

Baby this is me... yeah... “

I don’t think this was your intent.

But if it was you got what you wanted.

Look at me now. I’m proud.

“She's so gone

That's so over now

She's so gone

You won't find her around

You can look but you won't see

The girl I used to be

'Cuz she, she's so gone”

This is it.

I’m so done. 

Your lucky I’m the oldest one.

The others will learn.

I’m not coming back

You pushed me away with every word.

I’m long gone.

“She's so gone, she's so gone...”

I’m so gone, I’m so gone...

“So gone, she's so gone... gone, gone, gone.”

So gone, I’m so gone... gone, gone, gone.

...Goodbye

This is amazing. Its a great poem/song or whatever it was intended to be. I like the storyline, I can relate quite well to it. I don't see any major errors or anything, so great job in writing this.

You did a outstanding job. I like the flow of words and the desire of the poem. It felt like good words for music. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
