No Longer Drowning

by Baby Rainbow   Mar 15, 2015


Suddenly I'm drowning
in a puddle of your lies
that are becoming crystal clear.

I was so caught up
in my own trail of tears
that my truth became a blur,
your lies became the truth.

I'm done believing you
and wasting my time trying to
justify your ever-changing excuses.

I'm stepping out of this puddle,
leaving you drowning on your own.

You cannot pull me under anymore,
I no longer believe your lies.
So you are now only lying to yourself
while you drown in all my truth!

    Seems like you came out of this situation the stronger person and for that I'm proud and glad for you. Indeed, there are people in our lives who's will may overtake us or muffle what we want or what we live for. I like the simple image (yet it reaches deeply) of stepping out of the puddle, and walking ahead. Even if there will be more puddles in the future when it rains and life happens, you do not have to stay stuck in them. It also reminded me of how people drag us down and we may try to help them, but we can only do so much. We may get involved emotionally, but we can't necessarily "save" someone, if that makes sense. It also makes me thinks of those bullies who pull others down to lift themselves up. That's no way to live.
