Strength...

You asked for me, I delivered.
I arrived at your door step, convenient as always.
Should I be surprised that you await your needs?

When you should need to talk,
I am here,
When you should need a hug,
I am here

You're not the only one...

You may have moments of suffering, or pain, or confusion,
However you are the one, who doesn't fight it alone.

You've always been there, with self ego-analyzed advice,
If it works for you,
Then it clearly must work for all.

In this world, there is only you...

Haven't we both lived that myth?
You to your success, me to my failure

Subscribing to that which is false,
Only to believe that it gave me truth?

Must my true strength be yours as well?
Must I power the world which you've made up?
Which has effected me deeply,
Scarring me, for many to see?

No longer...

I have grown in my independence,
Realized I can care,
I can foster growth,
I can do this without thinking I need you...

Your power has disappeared,
Much like you, when it is most important.

Look down on me if you can,
It will be hard from the hole from which you've dug,
Which I no longer will lend you my hand.

I leave you,
leave you now...

To become the man I am now...
