You reduced me to a plummeting dive into self-hatred
You cut me with your lies, your false promises

Are not responsible for my growth
My perseverance
My eyes open with new possibilities
New innate intelligence
Awakening in me
You see
I will fight this pain
I will be strong
You didn't break me
Because I am a battered, broken, goddamn warrior with limitless potential and strength
