This Is My Creed
Then,
I was ugly and modest
And you were greed
When I was so hungry
It’s yourself you would feed
You didn’t ever help me
When I would bleed
You always beat me down
No matter how much I would plead
But I was an addict
And you were my speed
Now,
I am beautiful and strong
And, in capturing me, you will not succeed
I am braver than I was
Without you, I have been freed
I thought you were what I wanted
But you are not what I need
Now that you are gone
My life without you will proceed
You tell me you still love me
But you, I won’t mislead
To you I was always honest
I have done my deed
If you ever feel doubt
This you can reread
I hold to what I say
These words will always take heed
