Courage

When you say you weren't here

I don't believe you

How can I?

You have never given me a reason

You have lied

I never asked you

Have always shied

You played those games with me

In which you were already expert

and I had no reason to see

beyond what I saw

My mind was under your spell

Won't dare to utter a word

Even if I was going through hell

I knew I wouldn't be heard

But what I had forgotten

I had stopped listening to myself

It wasn't who needed to know

It was me

Whom I needed to show

It takes courage

To break through those shackles

You put yourself into

and now I know I am strong enough

To sail my boat

Even when the waters are rough!
