Poems »

I am 35. I am a single mom. 2 boys both 12 and 15. I am a survivor of mental, sexual and physical abuse. I was saved countless times by this friend. To her I owe my gratitude for that. But I can’t do it anymore. I have to walk away because I’m not gaining anything from it anymore except stress. Feelings of unworthiness and being left in the dark. It’s a constant battle and I choose today tomorrow and the next, to not allow this any longer. I choose me and my happiness and removing any toxic part of my life. Even if this means cutting out people who I thought meant everything to me. It hurts yes. But I will be better because of this decision in the long run.
