Grown Gone Girl

by rachel-doty

I remember once upon a time It was all fun and games till you arrived the sun shone and the birds sang the clouds smiled and I loved to play There was heaviness in the air that I never could explain pushed it down as best I could but now I’m feeling the pain I’m free at last from your hold I will never fit your mould I’m free as a bird and I’ll never come back No more mind games with me picking up your slack You said you were sorry but how true is that after years and years you can’t bring me back it takes a thousand I love you’s to mend a broken heart it’s way too late now for you to make a fresh new start No more lies is what I strive to hear No more lies and shouts and broken spirits and living in constant fear I’m ready to let you go and run away into the night I’m a grown girl now and I am ready to fight

Notes

This is about a girl who lives in a toxic family. This is unfortunately all too common in our society. To all those that have experienced something similar, bless you. It will pass and you can break free. You are allowed to live your own life happily without toxic people stealing your joy. Happy reading!
