Standing Tall

Breaking up is hard to do....this is how I felt after my relationship ended.

Always wondered how this thing would feel

Would it make me cry…

Would it make me give up on my dreams

Of would I act a damn fool

 

Witnessed first hand how it made others feel

Some got even

Some got emotional

Some wrote songs about breaking windows out their cars

 

And then their were some who

Took the positive path

The struggle became their strength

And pushed them to achieve the unimaginable.

 

One thing for sure

Pain is real.

What I do and how I handle this…

Determines the person I will become when I come out of this.

 

So, although it hurts like a mofo

I will take the positive path

And to my pain I say thank you,

You are helping me become the woman I need to be.

 

Thank you for being a part of my growing process…

You’re going to hate what you helped create,

Because when its all said and done…

I’ll be the victories one.

I'll still be standing tall.

I love where you went with this! This is so good, each verse was slightly more intense than the one before. The last verse was the power punch! Good write!

Strength is always developed through the pain. and you brung that to life in this poem I understand break-ups and the scars they leave but you remain optimistic in this approach and it shows in your words. "Thank you for being a part of my growing process…

You’re going to hate what you helped create,

Because when its all said and done…

I’ll be the victories one."

That would have your ex thinking twice about what they have lost. And this resonates with me a lot. great read
