The New Me

A poem I wrote a few years ago. I went through many personal struggles and to see this poem again so many years, those struggles were definitely worth it.

The old me is dead
She lays limp on the floor
My shoes no longer feel like lead
As I get to see the world all the more

She held me back
And kept me from living my life
She made the loneliness my friend 
That is the fact
So I pierced her broken heart with a knife
And with that I saw my pain end

My past lover will no longer recognize me
For what I have done to me

I cut my hair to never forget
To tell myself I will never regret
To make sure that I am stronger
So I can feel the happiness of life all the longer

I opened myself up
To let others in
To build my new life up
And to throw my old memories in a bin

Now do you see the real me?
Now that I do the things that I do
The feelings that I now can feel
To make my life all the new
I experience life
To no longer hold back
And I will fight
Before anyone puts my new life on a wrack

I thank God everyday
For his bless
And erasing my old mess
My life now shows the way
Beyond the light of what I can see
Is now the new me
