I am a fighter

I am no longer a victim

I am not broken

There is a difference

And its in my breath

And its in my soul

Its in each step

Forth I take and take 

To a future place

A future place 

Oh so much happier 

Oh so much brighter 

One where I see me

For the person I have built

In each step there 

Rather than the version

You left fractured

Fighting for every breath


This is written for all of my abusers – every one of them, including the ex I told myself I’d never say anything about but now do; reclaiming MY story and healing in the I need.

I survived. I grew. I began to smile again. All for me, not even in spite of you in the long run because I’m worthier than that.

I’m worthier than what you put me through and the way you left me. So F you because yes I may still have trauma but I don’t care anymore if that makes you feel big; it’s mine, I claim it, I claim all my broken parts.

That feels good like I’ve said goodbye in another way and I’ll continue to say goodbye to you all because this is my life and I am no longer your puppet.
