Relief

To be out of your grasp for a final time.

Had me believe that I wasn't worth being free.

The false belief that I couldn't change all on my own.

Using what I knew what was wrong against me so I could become your mindless puppet.

Only to have a lot of internalized searching.

Seeing that I was being abused in ways I never thought were possible.

Having your grip finally removed is a salvation all on its own.

I was only putting myself further on self-destruct in your presence.

To allow you to get as far under my skin as I permitted is the biggest mistake I have ever made.

You have shown me nothing but betrayal while I sought trust.

Treating me like a piece of property that I owed my life to was and is unacceptable.

You've opened my eyes of who I truly am.
