For long I have been tormented, for long I have suffered.

For long these words from within, were waiting for this day.

In my heart a cringe was felt, in my heart a wound not healed.

In my heart, I knew the problems were in my head.

These aren't the tears of pain, no longer.

These aren't the tears of sorrow, no more.

For these are the tears of joy I have,

the tears of one who is finally freed.

Happy 21st Birthday, Naomi.

May you strive and be the best there is.

May both of your love for each be eternal.
