I Am Free

Every new day makes my heart grow stronger
The absence of you makes me happier
The pain your presence has caused me will last no more
For I wiped my life clean of you
There will be no more hurt because you will it
I am free
I am free
My life is in my own hands now
These hands will lead me through more mistakes
These hands will lead me to more promise
But these hands have also set me free
From the chain I willingly carried
I now cast them to the floor
I walk away from you
And all you have infected
You were a parasite
And I purged you from my chest with my rightful pocket knife
You are gone and now:
I am free
I am free.
Shall you in anyway enter my life again
I will crush you
I will boil you
I will make you gone forever
You will not infect me again.

I like the aimple rough honesty, but got hung up on the 3rd line- seemed you were not sure of your stance...you present? your presence?..my will? to last,...I like the graphic use of standard tool, like a castout in the woods, with pocketknife.Eww like th
