i’m leavingcause i’m not happy herei don’t want to reach the end of my lifestill having doubts aboutthe man i’ve been withsince my twenties

your partner is supposed toenrich your lifenot drain itstaying when it hurts is not love

i want someone who isinspired by my brilliancenot threatened by it

i’m careful aboutwho i spend my energy on- i know my worth

silly girllittle angellittle devilso oblivious tobeing the miracle workeryou are the motherthe magicianthe master of your life

you lose everythingwhen you don’t love yourself- and gain everything when you do

there are whole blackoutsin some of the years i have livedmy therapist says our minds erase traumato help us move onbut every experience i’ve hadis memorized in my flesheven if my mind forgetsmy body remembersmy body is the map of my lifemy body wears what it’s been throughmy body signals the alarms whenit thinks danger is comingand suddenlythe hungry little demons from my pastcome raging out of my fleshscreamingdon’t you forget usdon’t you ever try toleave us behind again

how can i be socruel to myselfwhen i’m doing the best i can- be gentle

i am not a victim of my lifewhat i went throughpulled a warrior out of meand it is my greatest honor to be her
