Ripping Open Wounds

In the silence of a bruised heart,

I’m learning how to stand apart,

Every tear made me stronger, I see,

This is my journey to set me free.

A year and a half, under shadows I walked,

In a cage made of words, we never talked,

The screams echo softly, but now I hold tight,

To the truth rising up like the dawn's early light.

You thought love was pain, but it’s time to break chains,

Each moment that I linger, I can feel those old stains,

The wise woman's voice, a whisper in the cold,

If I don't let it go, I’m still a puppet controlled.

So I'm ripping open wounds, exposing every scar,

Each piece of you I bury, brings me closer to the stars,

The cargo bay of memories, heavy with despair,

But each item that I toss, lightens up the air.

The clothes that held the hurt, the lies you wore so well,

Each thread’s a reminder, of the hell you gave me hell,

Packing up the darkness, I’m reclaiming my name,

This is my life’s revival, no more playing your game.

I talk to my supporter, she hears my silent cries,

Together we’re breaking free from the shadow of your lies,

A tapestry of healing, I’m weaving every strand,

With every breath, I’m choosing to understand.

So I'm ripping open wounds, exposing every scar,

Each piece of you I bury, brings me closer to the stars,

The cargo bay of memories, heavy with despair,

But each item that I toss, lightens up the air.

Letting go of the hurt, it’s a battle I’ll embrace,

For every tear I've shed, it’s a step to find my grace,

No more haunted corridors, I’m breaking through the gloom,

A phoenix from the ashes, I’m ready to resume.

So I'm ripping open wounds, exposing every scar,

Each piece of you I bury, brings me closer to the stars,

The cargo bay of memories, heavy with despair,

But each item that I toss, lightens up the air.

Every moment's a passage, I’m carving my own way,

She’s just a chapter, and I’m writing a new day,

I’m a survivor now, letting go of what was,

In the warmth of my spirit, I’ll find the strength because...
