Poem

My memories of you were like trauma personified
For years my mind could not run from the pain and hide
I took the remnants of your chaos in my stride
Wishing I had rather been a runaway bride
In 2015

Where you were a golden apple out on display
But inside reaked of rotten decay
Shut behind closed blinds far away
No one knew the solemn struggles I endured every day
Until I left 

I've chatted to your new wife, lnformed her of our past
And of our demise and why I ran away so fast
And of your abuse of which she did not ask
And of your toxic masculinity she knows well of 

I forgive myself for not having the foresight 
And for the futile patience I had waiting for it to be alright
I forgive myself for trying too hard
To make sweet lemonade instead of discard
The bitter lemon 

I made peace and let go of my survivor's guilt
I break down the protective wall my heart has built
I thank my parents for my independence
Back to the present belongs my mind's attendance 

I thank women in society for role modeling self-respect
Showing the world we too can be our life's architect
I praise women who stood up and left the abuse
Showed the world that gender based violence has no use 

I no longer allow my mind's erosion
I discard traumatic memories with all its emotions
Finding God's peace became my new devotion
As I move on from 2016's commotion.

 He is someone else's problem now. May she too find peace.
