Not Afraid Anymore

You beat me.

Choked me out.

Told me I couldn’t

live without you.

Escaped the horror story that

you played the antagonist in.

I remember the day you

told me no one would

read what I pen.

I won’t let your ungodly sins

ruin how I view myself within.

Those days are over.

When you placed

that gun to my head,

you were dead to me then.

You always said you didn’t

mean to take it that far.

I don’t believe that.

I don’t know who you are.

The strength you tried to

smother and cover up

eventually oxidized

and revived on its own.

I just needed to be shown

and reminded of my worth.

For your sake, I hope

heaven is on earth.

Cause I’m sure if not, your

place in hell is reserved.

I won’t be concerned.

You get what

you deserve.
