Set fire to the rain. I've listened to this song all night. It touches my soul though I am still trying to understand why. The fire within is strong and has been fueling for a few days now. But for some reason I feel I have accomplished my mission.
I won't forget, I won't forgive, but I will now walk away now that the truth has been exposed. Now they know, now they finally realize who you are. I risked everything for this but I did it anyway's and I won, and I not only retained what I had, But now I gained support.I have added others to my mission. And the sadest part about it is that I hate it. This victory is bittersweet.
I should be happy as hell, but I'm not. I'm happy about the fact I screwed you up on screwing up someone else's life. I'm happy that the one's who protected you for so long has finally seen the light and now knows the true you but I'm not happy about what I had to do.
But something in that time ,when I stood alone, I rememered something, I rememered that stregnth, I felt that fire and I set the whole damn thing on fire and not once thought twice about what I did. I didn't care about the reprocussions because it was the right thing to do , no matter that noone stood behind, at least at first! That is who I am. The cross is heavy but I will it carry it to my death because it's not about you,it's not about me, it's about doing the right thing.
My lack of forgiveness has finally paved the way for change and I am now ready walk away in sweet victory. See, when I stopped hating you, I changed, I lost that fire. But then I saw you doing it to somebody else, to another child, that sparked something within me and I rememered who I was, who I am and how powerful I am. And noone will ever take that away again. See, I'm no longer bound by hate, because hate is merely a symtom of pain, and pain is merely a cry for justice.
I used to think this type of stregnth was a curse, but when it was gone, it's all I wanted back. But now I know that whatever storm comes why way, I can handle. I can now handle the weight of the world on my shoulders. And I can now walk away from you with my head held high. It was a long hard battle, and I won. It wasn't through love, or acceptance, or even forgiveness, it was truth. The truth about you being exposed. Truth was my justice and justice is now finally mine.
From this day forth you are dead to me and I'm walking away to never look back again. I'm walking away with my head held high knowing that I finally can.
Let it burn......
