you used to wake me up and laugh at me. youd keep me home from school so you could spend all day dangling accidents over my head. you called me names and made me cry. sometimes you were so loud youd make me throw up. you lowered my grades and made my confidence match. you squeezed my throat and kicked me in the stomach. but slowly you started getting smaller and i could breathe. i went to school and raised my grades. i didnt push him away. i remembered the pill every night. i like to sing again, i love to paint again. i havent missed anything because of you all year so far. and now youre weak and in the back of my head. sure you get the best of me sometimes but i know now that im better than you and stronger. you are a liar and i can beat you now.
sincerely the one that got away
