Better in my own way

I feel the stab of every harsh word you have ever said

Ringing in my ear I hunger for something else

I carry on knowing my own truth and it will carry me on

My wings got stronger and I will never forget

I might have forgiven you for my own sake

But I will not let you ever come back

You’ll always know what you did

And it be the reason why you will never come back

I will not cave and I will not see the pain I leave

As I refuse to let you come back

The pain you brought and the sting of the anger you unleashed

Coming to terms of what you did

Protecting myself and surviving became me number one instinct

I grew to fast for you to be able to handle

I outgrew you

I became better in my own way

Now I know better and less naïve

My reason of living has changed

I am not the same woman you knew and remember

Now I know what I can take and what I cant

I’m taking out the toxicity out of my life like I’m taking out the trash
