Finally Be Okay

The way I see you is different than before

the constant fights; a never-ending war

You get in my head, 

You give your threats..

But I can't take it anymore.

Im tired of the harsh words, the yelling in my ear

As you yell, my eyes fill with tears

this just makes you angry; infusing me with fear

I stand there silently, wishing I could disappear 

You constantly put me down,

making me feel as though I am not enough

I try to stand tall, but I am not nearly as tough

I stay there crying as you walk away

Telling myself it will all be okay.

I feel a mix of emotions, but try to burry them down.

Inside I'm screaming; no one ever hears a sound.

You've crushed my every dream

But soon, I can finally leave 

And on that day,

I know I'll finally be okay.

Sure does sound familiar to me. It took me a long time to find the strength to stand up for myself, even in the face of those I cared about. Because if someone really cares about you, they're not going to put you in compromising situations or instill fear in you. No matter their methods or reasoning. Sometimes though we find ourselves trapped, with people playing power games over our heads.

Just know this: People who play power games lose their power in the end. And when they do, they are left with nothing.

This is a nice poem. Sad, but nice. Seems to be a trend I've been stumbling into lately. Either way, I'm glad you were able to put that pain into words, creating something beautiful out of ugly situations. Keep on writing, friend. And keep going.
