I've asked myself a thousand times 'where do I go from here?' My head tells me its time to take that first step. Yet my heart is still shedding a tear.

How do I become whole again. One piece healed and no longer many pieces broken?

We were going to be together forever you and I. What happened that went so wrong? Your last hurled words of anger still echo lingering on.

Today is the day I will end this uncertainty. I'm taking a step forward and no longer am I a child ready to flee.

From deep down inside I draw on my strength. Woe to he who steps in my way. For to keep moving forward I will go to many a length.

My self-worth I hold as a deadly crossbow at my side. It's purpose to destroy your cruel and felling taunts. To keep me from becoming their bride.

Today is the day that I break free of your cold chains that bind me. Today is the day I begin to roam the beautiful and undiscovered land of the free.
