The relationships I deserve

Inspired by Healing of Childhood Wounds. Don't mistake Connection or Familiarity with Love or a Relationship. Just because we have experienced Chaos and Heartbreak as "Normal", doesn't mean it's Good. Love shouldn't give you Stress, Anxiety, Pain, Emotional Upheaval or Confusion. Love should feel like Calm, Peace, Happiness, Joy, Safety, and Home. 

The relationships I deserve 
By Michelle Morris 
30/06/2025

I reached out to you 
Your Chaos felt like Home
Memories of my Childhood 
The Pain I'd always Known

Reaching in the Darkness 
That Box of Blight and Trauma
My Soul saw it in your Soul
The Memories that haunt us 

Your dismissal of my Feelings 
Your rudeness and obfuscation 
Your outright lies and Darkness 
Your gaslighting and impatience 

Your control and dogmatic ways
Your refusal to be accountable 
Your unacceptance of responsibility 
Your unstable moods and doubting 

My Kindness taken for granted 
My Love and Light being shamed
My Beautiful Heart left broken
My Mind and Soul seeking Space 

The Space and Time I needed
To get away and get a grip
Introspection and Soul Healing 
It was an unpleasant kind of trip

Because all the Darkness you showed me
Reminded me that I needed to cut ties 
Create stronger Boundaries 
Walk away from Hurt and Lies 

Every Lesson that you gave me 
Brought me Home to my True Essence 
I am Powerful and Mighty 
I don't need your kind of Presence 

The relationships I deserve 
Are where we Love and Care and Trust 
There's Respect and Support and Cherishing
There's Acceptance when it's Tough

There's Cheering each other on
And Cheering each other up 
Holding hands and taking Leaps of Faith 
There's nothing but Goodness and Love

For True relationships are Real
They are the Light in the Darkness 
They share Hopes and Dreams and Fun
They share Experience as Artforms

So, I took what I had learned 
I walked away with my head held high
I retained my Grace and Dignity 
But left feelings of Love and Light for you to try

I don't regret those Moments 
The Lessons and the Pain
But I know that I don't need them anymore 
My Childhood Trauma and Wounds are bound in Chains 

They've been tossed into the Light 
They've been burned and they are done 
No more people like you allowed 
All Transmuted and Healed in Love

No more hidden boxes in my Soul
I am Glowing and I am Free
I leave you in Love and Light 
And embrace my future as a Queen
