It All Comes Down to Choice
Your choice
Your decision
Your right to choose
What and how you spend
Your life,
Base it on love
What feels right
What your gut says,
Not fear
Not your dementor
Not those negative naysayers
In your head
And all around you,
Choose
Love,
Not
Fear,
Every
Time,
All
Times,
Because
That
Is
What
Will
Set
You
Free

A dime has two sides
Lacking when alone with you
Overflowing when all by myself
Trusting strangers over myself

Disempowering
Negative
Malicious
Beliefs from him
Imprinted onto me
Manipulating and controlling me
Blinkering me from the truth
Leading me down rabbit holes of lies, confusion and brain fog
For years and years
Leading to defensiveness,
Aggression
Unhappiness
Sadness
Denial of my true self
And my qualities and passions,
Keeping me playing small
Insignificant
Unworthy
Undeserving,
All because he was afraid
Of my greatness
And my strength.
*******!
Blinkers off!
They weren’t my beliefs!
None of it was true!
They were lies!
Letting go
Of this distorted perception of self
To enter into a deeper understanding of who I am
What I stand for
And to embrace and
Love and
Accept
All of me
As I am

They say
parents are there for you
where were they
when I needed them
I was hurting
I was screaming for help
They didn't hear
I have become numb
To the pain
I have given up
