Butterfly

You tried to leave me Broken and confused Built me up Then tore me down and Said without you I would lose Like a fool I listened to you Depended on you for everything Felt that without you I was nothing You caused me to accept Mistreatment and lies Yelled at me and told me I was ugly And no one would ever want me You unleashed this very hell in me Not once you said you loved me Not once you said you cared I don't think you liked me Controlled me is what you did Never thought that I could pull away But I did Grew strong and left you Spread my wings and flew away I was a caterpillar Trapped and alone Grew into a butterfly And now I'm gone...

Wonderful statement about transformation and fleating opportunity, Breana! Sometimes we gain strength when growing away from the comfort of another drifting away. I look forward to reading more! Warm regards, John.
