Unexpected self-awareness
You thought the one you could trust would be there.
Is the same one that thinks your life is for them to share
Then treats you different like you havent a clue
You think she is the same person yet shes a stranger to you
When in reality you know you're in danger
And then there's a certain moment that's the game changer
You finally stretch like an elastic rubberband
You snap and cannot deal with the constant demand
Every part of you wants to control your sanity
But the words constantly from her, is profanity Countless days, nights, and uncertain afternoons
Have left you clueless, getting your happiness from cartoons
You wake up every agonizing morning ready to end your life
The easiest way would be to access a knife
You stop, think and give yourself some space
You come to realize all you needed was some grace
You are what she said you weren't: talented and strong
Everything you have to learn from yourself will last lifelong
She is no longer in control; no longer powerful
From every word spoken, was made to seem flowerful
You are now proud about who you truly are
Every "You" in this poem was me, the author; truly scarred
My name is Dede Franklin and I'm no longer falling apart
And it's finally time for me to create a fresh-start
