What Comes Back

I do not abide by you any longer

You have come around repeatedly

Disparaging my character

Belittling

Annoying

You make me question my decisions

You make me feel unworthy

I will not invite you again, because you are

Disagreeable

Unwanted

I am freeing myself from

Your voice

Your effect

You are no longer welcome

I already feel stronger

More self-assured.

Because of your banishment,

I am open to being

Hopeful

Satisfied

I believe in me

My future now has promise

You have no power over me

Consider yourself history

I no longer have a place in my life

For you,

Doubt
