Don’t shrink to fit your anger for long. You were innocent, a child, You did nothing wrong. Sucked into a vortex, Downward spiral of shame. Don’t turn anger inwards. You’re not to blame.
You grew up in fear, Sharp breath, held inside. Afraid to exhale In case he’d ignite. Fly off the handle, He lacked self control. He’d lash out, a back-hander. Head bounced off the wall.
I’m glad that he’s dead, That he’ll never come near us. He deserved to be banished, I won’t allow him access To my family, my loved ones, The people I hold dearest. He fucked up completely; He failed at the basics.
Now I need to move on, To let go of this anger. I deserve some relief, From the weight of trauma. I am here, in the now, I am safe. I am loved. I deserved so much better, And I am grateful for all that I have. 💛
