My Advice

I must admit
I don't know much
But there is one thing 
That I have learned
I learned it's okay
It's okay to leave
It is okay to give up on him
Once his raised voice pierces your heart
Once his lies linger in the air
Suffocating you slowly
Most importantly, beautiful
It's okay to let go
Once you start losing yourself 
In order to please him

For once this was me
And that night I should've left
Yet... I chose to stay.
