I’m Done

Finding the strength to forgive despite the heaviest of circumstances

By Bianca WargoPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I’m done being scared to be scared.

I’m done hiding from all this pain.

I’m done hiding from the trauma you caused me.

I’m done.

This isn’t a breakup,

This isn’t a betrayal,

This is a woman staying loyal to herself–

Finally learning to take care of herself.

This is a woman allowing herself to feel the pain she’s numbed our before.

This is one step of many in her process–

Her healing process.

It’s taken her years to accept what happened,

It’s taken her years to accept it for what it was and finally...

Finally she’s taking a stand.

She may not be taking it to a court to have a trial,

But she’s taken matters into her own hands

To forgive, but never ever forget.

Karma will come your way one day,

And I hope you’ll remember why.

I may cringe at even the thought of mention of your name

But never mistake it for fear.

I am no longer afraid

But broken.

You have broken me, I will admit,

But I know I can survive

And I know I have a voice to use

Should you try to chose for me again.

My body.

My rules.

Don’t you ever dare try to tell me otherwise again.
