Coming back home

The battle inside of me

By Tammy RobertsPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I cannot believe I fell for you

The love I thought you'd give

The shiny things you made me see

Oh the life I thought I'd live

You held me down and filled me up

With dreams and fantasy

Yet all the while you would grin

Knowing I could not break free

You took my days my nights my week

You stole my sanity

I am slowly stealing back my life

I am trying to break free

I will always fear your horrid grip

And fight you everyday

Each step will hold a learning curve

In keeping you at bay

I have a new relationship

With one against you cannot win

With him I will walk everyday

In this world so full of sin

Though I know you will keep pushing

I have found your kryptonite

Through listening learning and living

With God GA and love ill win this fight

Even on the daily

Even in the dark

Yours dreams may always haunt me

But you no longer have my heart

And though my mind may wander

I will work hard everyday

To overcome that hopeless misery

I caused myself, daily I pray

I will hold my time more dearly

I will fight with all I can

To make myself a better person

To read and write and understand

I can only look behind me

I can not change the past

One day at a time I am moving

Any more would be too fast

For if I move more slowly

I know the wisdoms there

Just listen you can hear it

Thank you for my share
