Rising from where you've trampled me down,
Scattering your daggers and swords.
I've been this way for far too long,
But I'm finally taking a stand.
I've always had trouble speaking my mind,
But you treaded on me enough
You see my heart, broken and bruised,
You're the one that did that to me.
It's my fault that I was so weak,
I should have known the truth.
But when everyone's living a masquerade,
Reality is hard to discern.
I don't need this anymore,
I can't stand being thought a doormat.
Countless actions have come into focus,
And my trust has dwindled down.
Blinded by glasses tinted with pink,
The prescription no longer works.
I didn't see your strongest shoes,
But your permanent footprints are clear.
Rising from where you've trampled me down,
Finally strong enough to get up and walk.
I look back on this with no regrets,
Even though I learned the hard way.
