The fight In Me

by Gaybrielles

I found the fight in me The strength in me The ability to once again be free You may have broken my heart Tore me apart But I'm still here No more do I fear I settled for less Thinking you were the only man I needed to impress But jokes on you because no longer am I that damsel in distress I'm standing strong The weak girl you once knew is long gone. So pack you memories, keep them deep in your heart because me moving on is only the start. Now you're hurt, now you're afraid? What happened when I needed you and you chose to get laid? I wore my heart on my sleeve, gave you the best of me but life's funny like that, changing what was meant to be Our "I LOVE YOUs" and "I NEED YOUs" turned into tears and late night blues It's okay though, it's alright I'll learn to fight this with all my might. Because life's too short To wait in your love court So don't come here We're done shedding tears I finally found me The proud woman God intended me to be.

This poem really hit home for me. It expresses the hardship I went through in a breakup and how I found the strength in me to finally move on.
