No Longer Crying In Your Arms

No Longer Dying From Your Wounds

I am no longer crying in your arms,

No longer hiding bruises and scars,

All of the shame you put inside my head,

Has turned into confidence instead,

I'm no longer trembling when I hear your voice,

No longer screaming inside my head,

No longer silenced by your threats,

No longer bounded by your demands,

I am free to be myself today,

Free to follow my dreams,

Free to trust my instincts,

Free to use my voice,

I am no longer afraid to make a sound;

I am no longer dying from your wounds.
