I think of you. I know you barely remember Me
But today, I can tell you: I walk in the streets without fear
I love with all my heart
I am not afraid of the door
I can sleep without my lights on or without a background noise
I think of you. I know you barely remember me
But today, I can tell you: Bitch I am still standing
I am reclaiming everything you took from me.
I am learning to embrace all of me.
I don’t want to hurt myself, and I don’t want to drink on my pain
I think of you. I know you barely remember me
But today I can tell you: I am loved. I am safe. I am good enough.
I am embodied. I am kind.
My mind, body and soul are intact.
One day, I will barely remember you, but you will think of me, I promise!
