You broke me down, one word at a time , you thought I’d be by your side never leave an empty space. I guess I proved you wrong.

You took it up another notch, the beatings never stopped. You thought by saying it wasn’t me I’ll never hurt you again would be enough for me.

It took strength to walk away despite the fear you instilled I had to tell myself it was more of a risk it I stayed .

Broken and tired I slipped away into the darkness was where I stayed. I didn’t think I was good enough for anyone not even for myself.

I had the courage to start over new leaving behind every thing I knew, life became a different place when I learned living didn’t have to hurt.

I still carry scars that you left behind but one by one they are going away to open up a new improved me.

I look back now and all I see was a toxic man who wasn’t good for me. I don’t know what or who hurt you but maybe one day you’ll find a better person in you.

I no longer live in fear , you have no control over me. It’s taken years to see I’m not the problem I was made out to be. …. I am strong, I am worthy of love and respect. Never will I do this again. I know my worth now and I’m so thankful for a chance to live without living in fear …. No one deserves to live in fear..
