Tearing It Away

Sometimes you just got to tear it away

every thought 

every reason

even when it goes against the grain of your being

sometimes you even have to stop breathing

and cease your heartbeat

for those you do such for

sometimes you must deny fate

and destiny

with every inch of resistance

of course

it will feel like you are dying

but such must be done in order to exist

sometimes in order to survive

you must rip it all away

every element of your past

every memory

every driving force

because

you can not live for others

who do not live for you
