I tried my best to block it all out

and lock it all out

but there was so much pain

surprised I didn't go insane

there was so much shame

took every picture out the frame

hated to hear his name

he said I was his Angel but he broke my wings

had me questioning love and all sorts of things

I was so hurt and mad that I couldn't cry

didn't bother to ask why, that would invite another lie

at first I held on because of my pride

but it was different because I knew he was a liar on the inside

so emotionally I let him go

so that I could grow

put down my pride

turn to God

suddenly the pain was gone

the rain was gone

I could smile again, I could write again

I found the strengnth in myself, and learned to love myself

I put this online to encourage someone else
