Strength

I am stronger than you

With every bone in my body broken, on my worst day when the world is dark, 

after the sun falls from the sky like a soul thats given up on her life,

I am better than you.

I am bigger than every insult, every argument, every temper tantrum thrown in my direction with the intent to kill my vibe 

I am laughing at you

I am laughing at me because how funny is it that I thought you had some kind of power over me

You broke my heart and told the next girl that I was already broken, a shattered mess too scattered to clean up and put back together 

You told the next girl that my attitude, is bigger than a mountain but what you failed to see is, I, am the mountain and you are the valley because baby you wouldn’t exist without me

You told your friends that I was too clingy

But when you were just around me I wasn’t the one begging you to stay

Because I won’t beg for someone to be in my aura who doesn’t deserve it

I won’t ponder on why a man who typically picks ups pennys lost a dimepiece

I’m worth all the change and you didnt have the sense to make a difference.

You told your mother that the reason we broke up is because I was too angry

But what you didnt tell her is that I was angry you lied

I was angry you cheated

I was angry and therefore your number was blocked and pictures deleted

I was angry so I burned every last bit of your things until nothing but ash remained

But I kept the memories

Because one day my daughter will ask me about love

And i’ll tell her “laugh at anybody who thinks he’s stronger than you”
