I am freeing my demons
More of them than I thought I had
I am my own savior
I am finally who I needed when I was young
No one really protected me
My pain and resentment is real
I am who I’ve built myself to be
Yes I had some blueprints
But the hard work was all me
How many times can you tell yourself
It will all be ok?
As many as it takes until it sinks in
I am finally believing in me
When do you stop listening to all the nonsense
That others consistently put in your head
Do I point fingers, of course I do
But those names will sit silent in my head
This is my safe space
They don’t belong here
Don’t let that foolishness cloud your mind
Stop letting it play over & over
While the mean things can be easily accepted & believed
That is not who you are
That is only their perception and 100% not true
Repeated incessantly
Stuck on replay
Those are their thoughts not your own
Self reflection is painful
But completely necessary
Being a better me daily is the goal
Listen with the intent to respond, not to react
How people treat you is their business
& should not determine my path
Or how I move on
Or how you live your life
I am learning how to love me
All of me!!!
