Finally free.

A part of me died that day. How could you?

I was just a child, was my innocence attractive to you or was it because I couldn’t fight back?

My fear motivated you, you loved the power.

No one heard my screams, you might as well have killed me in that room.

I spoke my truth and was silenced. “It was years ago” they said as if I still don’t get night terrors.

You have always been my deepest scar.

Today I carve you out of my skin and leave you in the dirt.

I reclaim my power.

You own me no longer.

I’m no longer a child and no longer afraid to scream.

I scream from the top of my lungs, “ I’m free! I’m free! I’m fucking free!!”

You’ll never hurt me again! I can fight back and oh can I throw a punch!

You’ll pay one day, you’ll burn at the stake.

I no longer have that cloud over me.

I am in the sun, I feel the rain and I am blossoming!

A new day has arrived and I’m riding the run to tomorrow!

My light is shining bright and I make it a mission to be healed.
