New Me

Fri, 08/09/2013 - 19:14 -- tiraluv

Dear Monster,

A boyfriend’s supposed to be your mirror mirror on the wall.

I’ve tried to be Snow White but I just seem to fall.

Put me down just to pick me up; but I’ve had enough.

No more lies and deceit

I’ve met someone new that doesn’t make me take a backseat.

Who doesn’t give me heart pains and take swings at my ego.

I’m sure my face has make up stains from trying to make up for what I’m not.

You’ve been Goliath on my self esteem

Trying to rebuild it time and time again drains.

You were my puppeteer; but now you’re being forced to retire.

No more blows to the face with embarrassment.

I’m going to work on fixing my heart dent.

I need to make a better me for me

You tried to bury me 3 feet deep;

But ima rise above the sea.

Just wait and see.

I don’t need you anymore like a teen getting rid of toys.

You say you’re a man, but I’m done with you little boy.

I’m not writing this letter to reflect on the past you created;

That old me has faded.

I’m here to thank you for putting me through hell so I can know what heaven looks like.

And news flash, I’m already walking towards the gates.

You were a slithering snake.

But now I’m with an angel.

Thanks to you I’ve gone through the test to have a testimony.

You’ve given me a challenge to face and now that you’re concurred,

I can live my new life with grace.

I’ve been rescued from the dragon’s dungeon

And now I can live my life freely.

Enjoy your cocoon.

I’m a butterfly.

Sincerely, the new me.
