“Redeemed” by Rocio Vaca
So many years wasted away, I wonder now why did I stay?
Why did I try to make it work, to make you see what I was worth?
Why did I not believe in me, why did I stay so cowardly?
The mask is off and there you are, a real life monster so bizarre.
You were so charming, sweet and kind if only I had known what I would find.
Behind the mask, such hurt, and pain, an ugly monster full of shame.
I wish you well despite the hurt, the twisted lies and all the dirt.
Every wound you left in me, has now transformed victoriously
I got away, and now I’m free, to live my life courageously.
I stand in power, you can’t take, unbroken, wiser, wide awake.
And by his love I stand renewed, redeemed unbroken, and pursued.
