Thoughts jumble
Nerves jump and spark
Like fingers fumbling
Trying to fit a key into a lock
That refuses to let me enter I watch it fall to the ground
Blowing out a frustrated breath
Taking a moment....
Fighting to find what once was
Before letting myself cave to demands....
Breathe in
Find the center,
Try again.
Thoughts settle
Like leaves after a gust of wind.
Breathe,
Let the past go.
This is not where you belong anymore.
Leave the key
Walk away.
Let this past and all its anger
Fall away
Leave the baggage
Leave the despair
Leave the past behind
And go...
Just go.
You can find your own way
Don't listen to the lying words
That had you believe you were nothing
Nothing without him.
Don't let him pry into your thoughts
Or taint them with cunning
You are the strong one
The bold one
The one that frightened him....
You were held captive
Say goodbye to that torment
That disbelief
That ravaged your soul...
No more.
Now you move on
Standing strong
In your own Power.
