All I ever needed was me

by Beth - Scorpio

I always thought I wasn't strong enough
To face this world alone
I always thought that I needed you
To help me find my way home

I always thought I couldn't handle
All that fate dealt out to me
I always thought that should I fall
I would need you there to catch me

It's funny what you think
When your mind is not your own
It's funny what you feel
When you feel so all alone

Well, I finally found the courage
To look myself straight in the eye
What I saw there, made me frightened
But it made me realise

That it's me who is the strong one
It's me who's standing tall
It's me that patches up your wagon
I catch YOU when you fall

You no longer have the power
You cannot shatter all my dreams
You can't break my confidence
I'VE FOUND MY SELF ESTEEM!

Why don't you crawl back in that bed
With the bottle that you drink
Cause this gal is flying now
While all you do is sink

I AM STRONG AND i AM BRAVE
I NOW KNOW I CAN WALK AWAY
NO MORE "PUNISHMENT", OR BRUISES
NO MORE LIVING WITH THIS SHAME

I always thought I needed you
I didn't know, I couldn't see
But I 'm no longer blinded
ALL I EVER NEEDED WAS ME....

Reason for writing:

    i think it pretty much explains itself...
