Escaping

I’ve been down that road before,
Swam from shore to shore just trying to get away,
Trying to find a way to escape from my demons,
I was trapped just fighting my way out,
I was taking the long way through but I made it through and I see the light of day,
For the first time I see the sun,
I can no longer be shunned for being low,
For ruining the show with my lows,
Now my aura glows,
Now I’m showing people what a soldier looks like,
What the true meaning of survivor is,
I don’t need reviving anymore,
I’m sure for the first time that I’m ready for this,
Ready and willing to face tomorrow,
No more sorrow coming from the petty acts of these people,
I’m looking past the steeple and moving on,
Removing myself from the pain and the moments where I get myself stuck, 
They can’t strike me down because I’m nowhere near them,
Steering straight for the sky,
I’m ready now goodbye.
