I value myself

For so long physical and verbal abuse I endured

In this life there's no place for disesteem

My value you attempt to depreciate

With words you aim to disintegrate

You continue to find faults, me you never appreciate

Overtime you think you triumphed, think again

Your fairy tale of what love is is delusional

I transformed my whole existence for your happiness

Your insatiable desires for dominance blinded your eyes 

You couldn't see my unhappiness

Me your words of belittlement no longer impair

My voice is no longer inaudible it can now be heard  

No longer do I care about your judgemental ways 

I have no regrets about what transpired 

My world you did not obliviate 

I no longer need your consent 

Your words helped me to be strong

I know in the end it would all dissipate 

I’ve finally found my place I belong.

I am thirty years old, I'm a customer service representative and a practical nurse. I love to read, sing, write poems and I hope to publish my own book someday. When I'm not working I play with my two children and I would like to become a counsellor to counsel children who have had or going through traumatic experiences.
