i don't mind this type of sadness
because while my heart
may be beaten and broken down
i know that things will be okay
i'm feeling something
and that's a victory
within itself
for now
i'm accepting the pain
and letting it course through
my troubled veins,
going up inside of me
and spilling out of my eyes
this sadness is only temporary
and after this feeling subsides
i can find comfort in the fact
that you won't be hurting me
not for a long while
maybe not ever again
your words will no longer
be knifes in my chest
your actions
will no longer
make me feel
as through i have lost
you will not win
not this time
because my sadness makes me strong
stronger than you
and all of your brutal
punches and blows
i have survived before
and i will survive again
so yes, for now i am sad
but soon it will pass
just like my feelings of love
for you
