Domestic Violence Awareness.
You no longer affect me.
You no longer control me.
No longer do instill fear in me.
No longer can you hurt me.
What I thought was love wasn’t real love at all.
Real love does not intentionally hurt you.
Real love does not lie.
Real love does not cheat.
You abused me mentally and emotionally for years.
When I realized my worth and that no longer worked came along the physical threats.
You tried to end my life because you no longer had me under your control.
I thought that I would not be able to live with out you, but a year later I’ve come to realize that living without you was exactly what I needed to really be able to live.
