I Am My Own Survivor
I remember our Love/Hate relationship.
It seems so long ago in a different life.
But I'll never forget what you did to me,
Making me cower like a dog,
Making me less a person.
The beating I took at your hands,
Bruising my face, my character,
And my inner self destroying my soul.
I walked away.
Burying my love deep into,
The darkness of my heart.
I vow never to say your name again.
Your memory is dead and buried.
I pulled myself up from the depths,
Of hell where you put me.
I vowed never will anyone,
Raise a hand to me ever.
I am a survivor.
Years and years it took me to,
Love myself in order to love others.
I finally found myself.
I have been reborn.
I can breathe and best of all,
I can begin to live.
