leaving

Standing,

Looking around.

Room full,

Full of memories.

Some happy,

Most sad..

Wishing i could forget the bad,

And just remember the good.

Looking at old photo's,

Seeing your smile,

As well as mine.

What once was great,

Had turned sour.

Hour by hour you turned,

You raised your hands.

Never would i think,

A hand would lay across,

My face..

The memories,

Every beating,

I'll remember.

The physical,

The mental.

All of the abuse,

I will always remember.

Today as i stand,

In the door way,

Of what once was,

A happy home.

I've fought long enough,

It is time for me to go.

No more abuse,

No more tears.

It is time,

For me to be happy again.

If leaving is the only way,

Then so be it,

Leaving is my only option.

Hey everyone, so i know i haven't worked on the blog is such a long time and i'm sorry i just have been a bit busy trying to get a lot of things right in my life, from working to just general things ya know? but anywho, this poem here is NOT from personal experience. Nor is it from anyone else's that i know of, but i wrote this to say that there is no problem with ever leaving an abusive relationship, even when you feel like just fighting and fighting, sometimes that is not healthy for you. sometimes it is better for you to just go, because one day all that abuse can get so bad to the point of your death. i know it may seem scary, but there are better people in the world rather than your abuser, so for anyone reading this, if you are trying to get out, don't be afraid, you can do it! i believe in you.
