Hurt is Blind

My Voice inside my head

shouts aloud 

NO!

It has said.

No more punches no more smacks

no more sharp pointy taps.

Today I stand here refusing to be dead.

I pick myself up instead.

I'm more than what you've made me worth

I deserve to stand here on this Earth.

Far too long i've lived this lie

and today I stand I refuse to die.

Within me a speckle begins to ignite

enough to empower me for life.

Little steps must I take

and now my soul rewakes.

The person that I once was has found her way to certainty.

The certainty of knowing there is still time

to change the face of destiny.

I wasn't in the wrong it was not my fault.

Your own insecurities led to your revolt.

To keep me down you wore the crown

You made yourself feel big and strong, and yet - no of course you did nothing, nothing wrong.

For far too long i've lived a lie - it's now time to let you die.

Take myself away, you can no longer hide.

You only have yourself to blame, to break down, to slap and kick,

you and your reflection so stop and think. 

It was never me that made you do it, it wasn't me you didn't like.

It was you,

You - the person you live with day and night.

You can not escape who you are

now i'm no longer there,

now i'm no longer there

I leave you with this scar.
