I Made It To the Other Side

I made it to the other side By Michelle Morris 26/11/2022 When I'm gone I wonder if you'll notice You're so wrapped up in yourself I barely stood a chance Narcissism and relationships Not a good combination I should've known better Than to take a risk on you Now that I'm away from you The air is so much cleaner The world is full of brighter colours And I am filled with hope I can't believe I took so long To escape your vice like grip I guess your isolating tricks Became too obvious to me Older and wiser I certainly paid the price Knowing my self-care Is not worth all your cries I don't know what I saw in you But you were pretty persistent Like a predator hunting game You made me weak and breathless Will you look back on us As a tyranny type experiment? Or are you so deeply damaged That you can't see your errors? I am free and I am alive I made it to the other side You'll become a distant nightmare As I feel my joy and thrive © Michelle Morris, 2022
