About standing up for myself, to a friend who stepped all over me.
I can finally see through your "angelic"  facade,
The truth dwindling with every breath you take.
Life as I knew it, spiraling rapidly downward,
All the truths and lies crashing around me.
Transforming into one.
A big spider web,
Making you the spider,
With your venom of lies.
I can no longer stand here being victim,
To my enemy,
My greatest fear.
I face defeat,
As you spit venom my way,
For the last time.
Hanging on to what little life I have left,
I decide that it does not matter how much I want to give up.
I find strength to crawl out of your grasp.
Successfully escaping from your web,
Sighing with relief,
And great sadness.
It is like awakening from your worst nightmare.
I have the battle wounds to prove.
The biggest scar of all,
It covers my heart.
This scar is the only thing keeping it together.
A painful reminder,
That I have faced my greatest fear.
