For Far Too Long

You think your words can wound my ever vibrant soul?
You think your actions can scar the porcelain I'm made of?
You believe so fully that I'm simply a marionette

Hanging by strings
Happy to abide
To your twisted views of merriment

Did you not once think I have a soul?
That I cannot feel your every stinging remark?
Like physical blows to my heart

I feel everything
I remember it all
And that's why after all these years
I can now stand before you

Head held high
Hands unbound
Strings severed

I resurrected who I once was
To stand and fight for what I know
And seal the hole in my heart

All those lies and fabrication you convinced me as truth
Are now my shield of armor to reflect my inner light
All those superficial hypercritical views you said in the name of love
Are now my sword to destroy the darkness

I believed your fantastical voice for far too long
Your arrows dipped in poison penetrated me unnoticed
For far too long

Your meaningless words can no longer wound
Your unthinking actions can no longer scar
Your marionette is free
I wrote this for school and didn't really think much of it until I had my mom look at it and she showed it to my entire family. My mom actually started crying and my family couldn't get over how "touching it was". I'm not going to get into the inspiration for this piece, so interpret it how it affects you and comment you're thoughts. ^.^
