Tams coming down/off song. Ill never hear this song again without remembering these last weeks.

Look at me now
*****************

Ive been caged by you for such a long long time,
You had your own particular way to fill my mind,
With low esteem regarding myself kept me hidden inside of a shell,
It took so long for me to see how demolishing you were to me.

Look at me now im stronger than before,
Cos I found the strength within myself to close the door,
And I closed the door for you to ever come inside again,
I had to keep myself sheltered from your fine brown grains.

Look at me now!!!

Ive been blind and foolish but I was just a boy,
You seduced me with your lies and promised me the world,
Now ive had it with you and your twisted games,
No longer staying with you will make me feel so ashamed,
But i found the power to open the gate, i left you behind, ive turned the page.

Look at me now!!!

Look at me now!!!

Some time ago i walked away, i never thought id be the same,
Ive recovered on my own and without you now ill carry on,
Look at me now im stronger than before,
Cos I found the strength within myself to close the door,
And I closed the door for you to ever come inside again,
I had to keep myself sheltered from your fine brown grains.

End

I just thank everyone who has helped me through this (so the "i did it on my own doesnt 'quite' apply). I know most of you dont understand exactly what it is ive done/went through (and im not just talking withdrawal but the whole package, taking it in the first place) and that makes it all the more powerful that you have all helped me as you have.

I will be, and am, eternally grateful.

Right, better get on with that work i keep meaning to start but by geez its 'scary'.
