I walked away.
It wasn't because I'm selfish.
Its because I could no longer suffer the abuse.
Constant attacks that were physical and mental.
I couldn't function properly.
My kids suffered because I wasn't happy.
It became a game of hiding behind a smile.
You still blamed it on me.
Afraid to let everyone know who you really are.
So I became the outcast.
The one all looked down on.
Not because of something I did but because of something I should have done a long time ago.
Open up to the world
Abuse isn't just with women but even men. Its something that is laughed at with men but how much can one take. No one should be in a toxic relationship. There is no need to suffer for someone who's isn't worth it
