I can make it without him
I grew back the hair I cut off for him
I bought the game I wanted that he had
I ventured into the city he lives in
I went past his school and felt nothing
My steps are baby steps
But I’m moving again
I’m not crawling and struggling to stand anymore
His words can’t beat me down anymore
I’m not haunted by him anymore
I can’t remember his face anymore
I felt worthless without him
But now I know I’m so much better
I was a candle he controlled
I never burned very bright, I was a gentle light
Now I’m an unstoppable wildfire
I will scorch everything in my path
I am fireproof and immune
Because of him
I made this for myself. I can't express how relieved I am now that I'm free of my abuser. After we separated, I still felt trapped by him but now I feel free and rid of him. I can live without him now without being scared.

I don't care about comments or favorites on this one. I made this for me, and I needed to. I earned this.

You go girl! Sorry, I just had to say that. But seriously, don't let anyone tell you who to be. Keep Calm and Carry On. Oh, and don't burn down your house while you're a wildfire.
