For the First Time

I choose me, my peace, my sanity & with it comes boundaries.

Patiently waited for things to change, but waiting turned this into a game,

The love I had to give I poured into myself, the joy I feel from it can’t compare to no one else,

Pain was the feeling of ultimately deciding, that this here was no longer exciting,

Crushed beyond measures, fighting myself internal, strength I needed not pleasure,

For the first time I chose me, one of the hardest thing I’ve ever done, so sad I sacrificed my own happiness for the comfort of everyone,

Satisfying my own heart is the best feeling, loving my self deeply is the only thing I needed, can’t wait to teach my daughter that self love supersedes,

The pain will be temporary, & never loose hope, your heart is a sanctuary, nourish it, comfort it, feel it, embrace it,

For the first time I stood up for myself with no fear, I got my power back, & it’s up from here!
