The hardest thing I have ever did,
Was run away from you,
When you told me you loved me, but instead I hid.

The bravest thing I have ever did was protect myself,
I confronted you to your face,
"Enough is enough" I said,
"I shall no longer be chased."

The strongest thing I have ever done was cut off ties,
Realizing my 'protective cage' was a lie.
That I was in a prison, to you I was just a weak animal in a zoo,
To realize my mind and heart were victims from them and from you.

Yet...
The most painful thing I have ever done,
Was say goodbye to the only person I knew most,
To know that all this time the destruction in my life...
Was from the one who preyed close.
As someone who has gone through years of mental/psychological, physical and ****** abuse, for me the hardest part was to break free from what was always my "normal". To know that there is another way to life and the only real people you knew are not what you thought...
I still struggle so hard knowing I am away from my abusers. As much as I hate to admit.


This is for those who have done the same...
I am proud of you, you are strong and increidbly worth your new freedom. I love you. <3
