You will no longer 
hurt me

You will no longer 
blame me.

You will no longer 
insult me
control me
or shame me 
into hating myself!

I wasn’t good enough
for you?

You
were not
good enough 
for me!

Thank you for the beating
sorry to disappoint
but you did NOT break me!

You gave me wings
to fly away 
from you!

You handed me
the sword
to fight 
another day!

You gave birth to a warrior
and warriors
never
let
cowards 
win!
