Letting go of the past

Alright this one has a really strange flow to it that I can't even make out in some places =D I just let the words form them selfs and just act as the bridge for them and this is how it turned out =D So I hope it makes sense and I didn't screw it up to much *tries not to laugh to much* =D
***********************************************
Tearing this mask off at last,
I'm tired of not being able to breathe
and feeling like I'm one big lie,
I'm going to break this self imposed cage
and finally set myself free.

I'm tired of hiding who I am
because people wouldn't understand,
I'm tired of all the walls I've built
to protect myself from the world
that makes me seem so cold.

I hide my heart away
afraid to let on I care
and actually am very soft hearted
because I've been hurt so many times
and am scared to care again,

But I'm sick of holding myself back
and wasting the time I have
worrying that history will repeat it's self,
it's time to cut the chains
and start my life over again.

I'm going to break free of my old self
and learn to embrace the new,
come to peace with what's behind me
and all the things I'm not proud of
and come to look forward to whats to come.

What is the point of living
if we never change and grow?
I'm going to embrace the future
and all that it can hold
and just let the past slip away from me.
