One Year of Strength

One year gone, but the wound still feels fresh

Walking through shadows, trying to forget

Every lie, every tear, every broken vow

I found my voice, I’m finally saying now

It’s been a year since you walked out that door

Told me I was the problem, I couldn’t take anymore

Blame-shifting, gaslighting, twisting what’s real

Lost in your web of lies, I couldn’t even kneel

But I’ve seen through the darkness, I’ve broken free

From the chains of your control, I’ve reclaimed me

No longer a victim, I stand tall and proud

Shouting to the silence, breaking through the cloud

I am a survivor, a warrior’s song

From the depths of hell, I’ve fought all along

Proud to say I’ve survived your hell

A story of strength that I will tell

Your manipulations, your psychological war

Tried to reprogram my mind, locked behind a door

But clarity came with every tear that fell

Now I walk in sunlight, breaking every spell

The coldest love, you turned into ice

Queen of control, I paid the price

But I’ve risen from the ashes, I claim my space

The pain has shaped me, gave me grace

I am a survivor, a warrior’s song

From the depths of hell, I’ve fought all along

Proud to say I’ve survived your hell

A story of strength that I will tell

Your words, your actions, they tried to define me

But I found my truth, I set myself free

Your mom’s attack, a bitter blow

But I stand resilient, I won’t go

So here’s my testimony, loud and clear

I am a male survivor, I’ve conquered fear

One year later, I own my story

A tale of hope, of pain, of glory
