Shaking You Off

my strength pulls me from the darkness
away from a place i have been trapped in
I wipe away the dust that clouded my vision
and wash my hands clean

i am through with the tumbling feelings i get around out
over all the crap i had to deal with
no longer going to be a victim to your eyes
immune to teh power of your smile

holding on to such a past does me no good
it's unhealthy, destructive
and I won't be a party to it any more

so I square my shoulders
look you straight in the eye
and, without pain or tears,
smile and walk away.
