First Alter Enemy
written and copyright by Christina N Kelley on 4/14/2012
Keep on going when all hope should be lost
I think I’m finally learning who you are to me…
Not just a perfect stranger, waking up on these streets
When I’d look in the mirror, I refused to stand alone
I let you become my, first alter enemy….
(Chorus)
It’s been ten long years since you moved in on me
I think it’s time I let you know, that was then, and this is now
And it’s time for me to gooooo… away from you
Somehow I will win everything little thing you took from me…I know…I know…I will
I, have paid my price, and I had come back once or twice
But you can never be anything that’s right for me
You watched me fall from…. who I use to be
Just stood there while I prayed on bended knees!
Your kind of help left me, in this shameless misery
(Chorus)
It’s been ten long years since you moved in on me
I think it’s time I let you know, that was then, and this is now
And it’s time for me to gooooo… away from you
Somehow I will win everything little thing you took from me…I know…I know…I will
You held me down, you held me down… every time I’d try to get back up
I felt you in my veins…. when I came into this world
You laid so dormant in me, in me, inside of me…
So hard to believe it took this long
When my hope was gone, you shined through my every sleepless night
You got me while I was down, and out…..It wasn’t fair, it wasn’t fair, oh no, it was not fair
(Chorus)
It’s been ten long years since you moved in on me
I think it’s time I let you know, that was then, and this is now
And it’s time for me to gooooo… away from you
Somehow I will win everything little thing you took from me…I know…I know…I will
I watched you tare up my family and my home, I remember you now…..
You took from me a father I will never see again, never see again..
You’re a twister of truths, a deviant, I wish I never knew
I had finally become what you wanted me to be….a washed out version of me
In every bottle, I’d find you there, there you were, there you were…
When my days were rough, and I think I thought I just had enough…you brought me up then you took me down
(Chorus)
It’s been ten long years since you moved in on me
I think it’s time I let you know, that was then, and this is now
And it’s time for me to gooooo… away from you
Somehow I will win everything little thing you took from me…I know…I know…I will
I’m not giving up; I’ll take you out… of me…free me from you
This is my truth …I held on to a story that was already dead and gone
I think I’m finally hurt enough to never want to see you again, ever again
I won’t call you a friend but as time goes on and I am free from you
You will always be my first alter enemy, my enemy, you will always be…
