Crossroads
You're at the crossroads pleading for a different game
Yet taking a foot forward seems hard to ascertain
Words feel hollow
His actions only bring constant sorrow
Watching your constant state of toxic skewed reality
Why does the promise to another
trump your promise for inner peace
Are you scared you’re to blame
Has the crushing words only produced shame
The way your life turned out all kind of feels like bad luck
Fought and pushed yourself through all this muck
Alone the only feeling you can obtain
No longer sure you can live with all the pain
Leaving seems like the wrong choice
But you've lost your voice
Staring at the blurry reflection
is that even someone you know
This broken heart turned into stone

Love took your heart and tore it in two
But honestly
Did he ever really even love you
Leaving seems scary right now
Stepping into a whole new world with nothing but the unknown
Seems like you’re all alone
You’re only standing beside the fear
And fear is loud, not truthful
Didn’t you know
You’re not starting over empty
you’re starting over braver
This poem was written for someone very close to me in a very toxic relationship. Hope those who can relate find the courage to choose themselves over their abuser. ❤️
