A decade buried, in the mud that you threw
Still scrubbing remnants from underneath my nails
Gratitude fills up my lungs
These breaths of life -as proof of my resilience
My thriving and surviving
I'm standing here today
As proof that we rise!
These are the last words
You'll ever get
I've washed you off my hands
And from my mind
Thoughts were twisted
I doubted myself every day
Once so confused
I wasn't sure what was real
Found the strength to take a step -move ahead
While you waste in your lies
Surviving today
Standing tall, because I broke free
You get nothing more from me
You won't take that space up
You get no more words from me
You won't take my time up
