This time I'll be stronger,
This time,
your words turned lies will mean nothing,
your gestures turned fake will mean nothing,
and I will not allow myself to fall back down the rabbit hole,
just for the sake of not being on my own.
So this time I'll be stronger,
I will let you go,
as much as you've already let me go.
I will charge through the loneliness,
and await the other side,
where my true life waits for me.
This time I learned my lesson,
This time, I'll be stronger.

I really like this! It's really good :)

The topic's something i've delt with, so its nice to see i'm not alone. I've learned to ignore it, and it's helped so much.
