I don't care if you're not sorry
I forgive you
Not for you,
for me
I release myself
from the power you once held over my head
this is me
taking back what you took from my beaten body
this is me
wiping my own tears
cleaning my own scraped knees
this is me
realizing
I am so much Stronger than you made me feel
realizing
I never needed you to fight my battles
I just needed
to let go of your hands
to put up my fists
