I Made Peace With My Past

It is almost like it was just a bad dream 
All that hurt me a faded bubble 
I was broken 
I mean then in the bad dream
They said some horrible things and done some unspeakable stuff 
I mean was i ever happy 
In the bad dream 
Or was there just too many bad stuff that i can’t remember the good 
The laughter’s the hugs and kisses 
The giggles 
The tears of joy 
And now all i know is the bad words 
I mean i didn’t become it 
But it has become a part of me 
 I THINK THAT’S WHY I KEEP PEOPLE… 
PEOPLE i love at a distant because when they decide to leave I’ll be okay    
I’ve become emotionally unavailable 
Or i don’t know how to explain it
I cry when i watch sad movies and i get scared watching horrors 
And here i am a bubble full of emotions that i don’t know how to use among those i love or think i love its rather kind of messed up but i am learning every day that what happened in the bad dream wasn’t my fault at all 
And through all the nightmares i still get, makes me even more stronger than the demon trying to through me off course
It was a bad dream and i woke up from it 
If i can, 
So can you 
They say what’s possible for one man is possible for another.
