A Poem To Someone Special


Because I love you  

I let you tell me I couldn't do anything without you

I gave up what I wanted in order to take care of your child

I let you tell me you wanted my brother more than me

I let you hit me without fighting back

I let you choose my future  

I let you brake me

But now I let myself be stronger than ever

But now I am free to be me
