I will always win


I hate you.

From the day you forced your way into my life, I had hated you.

But I will always win.

Now I am stronger.

Now I can move foreward.

Because you beat me down.

Because you made me yours.

Because you will never let me go.

But I will always win.

Because I am strong.

Because I can move foreward.

Because you will never fully go.

I will always win.

To my self doubt. To my fear.

To my struggle to force air into my lungs

and to take another step.

To the future I am afraid of.

To the ugliness I see

when I look in the mirror.

I press my hand against you

and watch you shatter

with a smile on my face

watching the shards of glass paint my hand red

Because I know for a fact

I will always win.
