My pain is an inner sort
Eyes glow or become distanced
That is when you know
So, don't think until you see.
Every blow to my face
only makes me stronger,
and resilient to you.
Never needed your approval
only the love I lost by you
so just let me be who I wish
and try not to interfere with it.
I plan to forget you ever existed
so I may go on with what's left
because I at least deserve that.
