Learning to walk away

You never gave the time of day. I still stayed—I stay, I’ll stay. I couldn’t ever walk away. Be brave, so brave—I’m brave. I saw the truth I couldn’t face. I felt wrongs I couldn’t place. This is not the time for grace. No place for you inside my space. A fucked mind, an ugly heart. I found my way out of the dark. Trauma painted on me like it’s art. I never let it take my spark. You never gave the time of day. I still stayed—I stayed, I won’t stay. I finally learned to walk away. Be brave, so brave—I’m brave. written by Lillyana Little
