Power Reclaimed


She's done sitting back 
and taking his abuse:
the physical, 
     the verbal, 
          the mental
               the psychological; 
Today is the day it all stops, period.
Oh, you better believe it....
She's done putting up 
with all his gaslighting.
It's not all her in head.
She's been done wrong.
She's done being caged in 
by fear of standing up 
                            for herself.
She's done 
with this-too-shall-pass dismissals.
 She's done keeping quiet 
so she creates no ripples.
She's done believing 
her voice holds no weight.
She's done!
     She's done!
          She's done!
Stick a fork in her, she's through.
Yep, enough is enough!
He will be held accountable.
She's taking back
her POWER,
at last.
