I'm Leaving!!!
I don’t want you in my life anymore
my mercy has run out, im depleted
forgiveness is no longer in my vocabulary
you thought I was too dumb to let you go
you thought your insults would keep me close
that if you told me I was ugly I would stay
that if you hit me and humiliated me
I’d be too embarrassed to leave
you told my mother I was good for nothing
and she told me to go back and be a good wife
and I obeyed and tried to be a ‘good’ wif
to be insulted and called names and put down
I cried at your words and said nothing
so you started calling me fat, ugly, stupid,
good for nothing, unlovable, unworthy, embarrassing
and I cried and believed you, and you laughed
you thought I had no strength within me
you thought that you had depleted all my esteem
that I was your punching bag forever
its taken me a while but I am leaving
im not coming back, my mind is made up
im packing my bags, leaving my sorrows behind
I now know who I am
I laugh at you now, you are pathetic
I am free, my mind is free. Don’t you see?
your words no longer hurt me because I am free
you are a prisoner in your own mind
you insult me because you need to feel powerful
you don’t know who you are, I pity you
without your punching bag, who are you?
your words now make me laugh
and it baffles you because it doesn’t bother me
I don’t expect you to understand
you are bound and chained in your own mind
I know who I am now, what you say I am, that’s not me
that’s why I laugh when you call me fat, ugly, stupid,
good for nothing, unlovable, unworthy, embarrassing.
that’s not me, it will never be me
I’m beautiful, intelligent, loved, full of purpose, human, phenomenal!
