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
