Every Again
A broken head and broken soul
Struggling to make sense.
The past two months took a tole
I feel my body on defense.
As I look to the ones close,
They don't know how to help.
My mom thinks she knows
What happened to me; It was heartfelt.
I pick myself up
To get back to the good life.
I decided to interrupt
All the tears and the strife.
Work towards a better me
That would no longer cut ties
I cannot guarantee,
But I know I will no longer disguise.
A few months later,
I am making a mark.
No longer am I a traitor,
I am learning to be smart.
Thinking towards the future,
I know it will be bumpy.
Finally, I am the ruler
Of my own life. Comfy.
There are better days ahead,
And I have to push forward.
I don't want it to go unsaid
I will never go backwards.
Ever Again.
