My back is strong,
To carry the heavy burden that comes with you.
My skin is tough,
To take the wounds you consistently inflict.
My soul is tender,
To suffer mutely, and without a fight.
My spirit is strong,
To refuse to die and end the pain.
My mind is strong;
I reject this servitude,
And will remain down no longer.
I will not wallow in self-pity,
Nay! I will not let you inflict pain on me,
And steal all that is mine.
I stand today,
Though bent and shaky
For all the times I have let you ride me,
And I take what is left of me,
To begin anew.
The strength of my spirit will aid
My healing from the regret and pain
Of the mistake of being your enabler.
My tender soul will enable me conquer evil with good.
My tough skin will allow me heal from your stings,
And my back is strong,
Strong enough to force my whole being
To expel you from my life,
And block the door to ensure
That neither you
Nor any of your kind
Ever have access to my life.
My back is strong,
Strong enough to stand tall,
As I live anew,
A meaningful life,
Dedicated to making sure that
Some person does not repeat my shameful history
That was a life with you.

I have loved reading since I can remember. The love for crafting stories came naturally while I was still a child, and I have learnt to put those imaginations to writing. I desire to inspire love and transformation through my writing, and sometimes, just to entertain - life can be beautiful, depending on how you look at it.Go to Efadel's profile, and read more of his/her posts.
