I no longer fear

I am unsure if I heard this song last year or not. I heard it sang with Kelly Clarkson and Reba MacEntrye on the Oprah show. When I heard this song it just wrapped up so many things. Things I would not put into words, this song did.
Since that day, I have found the understanding that I always seem to need in order to "get passed" something. I don't know why I am that way, I just am. My heart and soul now have a peace that I havent had all my life
I understand now that parents or those that raise you, influence you growing up, can truly break you. They can truly stop you from forming bonds as an adult because of the fear that still haunts you. All the things said in this song, are just so true and I have dealt with all my life
After spending 20 years with my husband and him waking me at least 4 nights a week from screaming nightmares, its all over now. Since I have read and understood the words to this song, I can now sleep again.
I no longer fear sleep, I no longer fear the dark, the silence or being alone. I no longer fear love, fear hate, fear being misunderstood, fear misunderstanding. I no longer fear
  
Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You

I will not make the same
Mistakes that you did

I will not let myself
Cause my heart
So much misery

I will not break
The way you did
You fell so hard

I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you,
I never stray too
Far from the sidewalk

Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
So I don't get hurt

Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you
I am afraid....

I lose my way
And it's not to long before you
Point it out

I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness
In your eyes

I'm forced to
Fake a smile, a
Laugh, every day
Of my life

My heart can't possibly break when
It wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too
Far from the sidewalk

Because of you
I learned to play
On the safe side
So I don't get hurt

Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but
Everyone around me

Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep

I was so young
You should have known better
Than to lean on me

You never thought
Of anyone else you just saw
Your pain

And now I cry in
The middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far ftom the
Sidewalk

Because of you, I
Learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt

Because of you
I try my hardest just to
Forget everything

Because of you
I don't know
How to let
Anyone else in

Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life
Because it's empty

Because of you I am afraid
....Because Of you....
