For me to overcome I must forgive what you did to me.
For my own soul to be set free.
And it is so hard to let you of the hook.
Do you have any idea what you took?
Like a bird in a cage I am.

You took away my joy as a boy.
Did you see me as your only toy?
So when you were tired of me you threw me away.
O how I treasure that glorious day.
You did not come in and close the door no more...

Still today I am struggling with what you left me.
I still struggle, the light to see.
Where were you every time I tried to end it all.
Or did you find another victim on who you could call?
I will try to get you out of my life forever!

I know now that I can be free.
Not a bird in a cage but in a tree.
I can live again and don't need to be afraid.
and trust that your debt to you will be paid.
Not by me it won't.
I will not stoop to your level, no I won't!!!!

Man, I hear lots of that. Thank you for posting that one.

wow I could have written that easy, seems we all have way too much in common. I wish abuse would evaporate from my memory.
