The Rebirth of My Understanding
I used to be the kind of person you could push over the kind of person who would continuously apologize even if it wasn't my fault asking for forgiveness of the cuts and wounds you caused me,
I used to shut the door to the world and cry alone to myself where no one but my pillow could hear me weep
I used to care about what people thought of me people pleasing my way into people's good graces I used to be stuck in a rabbit hole like Alice and trapped in a tornado like Dorthy I use to feel like I was trapped in the wrong life like Pinocchio and my whole life was a lie
there was so much pain in my heart and rambling in my head that for so long I couldn't put an end to it and after all of that I transformed into someone new
Finally I rebirthed my understanding
growing wasn't easy but definitely worth it self love was a bottle I drank from which deemed me worthy of happiness and when I started growing I noticed my wolves in sheep's clothing were starting to reveal themselves
they were enjoying my pain hoping I fed them with my tears but no longer I am now on solid ground to stand on my own two feet I am proud of how far I've come
and for the first time in my life I don't need anyone to acknowledge my accomplishments or my growth because only I know where I've come from and only I know where I am so now I continue to blossom into who I'm truly meant to be
