I Am Free

Silence has surrounded me for so long because I've bit my tongue and held my true feelings in.
But I am silent no more. I'm releasing my pain. God has set me free from the hurt caused by your sin.

I put your opinion of me before God's and now I see that's what was tearing me apart.
I walked on eggshells and held things in out of concern for your heart.

I began to follow your example which led me down a path of lying, cheating and corruption.
It is only now I see following you had me headed straight for destruction.

How many times have I beat myself up after one of your attempts to make me feel guilty?
How many times did I have my happiness shattered because you took your bad mood out on me?

I have felt guilty, dirty, ashamed and unworthy for so very long.
But now I see I am not a horrible person and you were the one who was wrong.

I am free from the guilt of keeping your secrets and lies.
I am free from being hurt and trying to smile for disguise.

I am free and it feels so good inside.
My smile is genuine and not just a cover for the pain i wish to hide.

Your actions no longer have a hold on me.
Thanks be to God. I am set free!
