Strength

by noelle-marie

You've put all this weight on my shoulders Responsibility That you couldn't hold You didn't want You've been nothing when I needed everything It's okay My shoulders can hold the world Such strength there is in them now My heart can take the rejection, absence, abandon and can survive, it's walled now, protected from such My spirit can take the absolute desolation that comes with your presence and come back to form into smiles and strength I don't mean you've left me unmarked, unscarred But you have given me absolute strength and that need for you has gone You've given me the ability to be alone, self sufficient, rely on no one, need not another soul And be okay with it For that, I thank you But you really are selfish assholes Fuck you.
