Ashes

I lost that part of me a long time ago
But I had to watch it atrophy as it withered away
I tried to save it, tried to feed it, but the color slowly drained to grey

The loss was subtle, but if you were looking you could see it
But no one was, not even those complicit in it

I no longer miss it, though I did once mourn its loss
Now I have found a freedom in its absence

In its place has grown a strength, a power that I need
The old scars are healed and faded, and I won't let new wounds bleed

Stronger now, rising from ashes
It's my time, it's my time now
It's my time, it's my time now

Stronger now, rising from ashes
It's my time, it's my time now
It's my time, it's my time now
Stronger now, rising from ashes

I no longer miss it, though I did once mourn its loss
Now I have found a freedom in its absence

In its place has grown a strength, a power that I need
The old scars are healed and faded, and I won't let new wounds bleed

Stronger now, rising from ashes
It's my time, it's my time now
It's my time, it's my time now

On my own I've made it
Came out on the other side
Broken, mended, stronger
It's not me who needs to hide
