Poem #3 - 'Free of you'

My poem 'Free of You' reflects on a past toxic relationship of coercive, emotional and controlling/ manipulative abuse.

It begins by exploring the vulnerable state of being under the control of the abuser, then journeying into a path of resilience and finally, setting myself free of the pain of the past.

If anyone has ever dealt with a toxic relationship with a partner who does not value or appreciate their kindness, yet instead takes it in vain, then know that there is a way out, and it does get better.

As always, I look forward to your comments and interpretations. If this resonates with you in any way, please know that I want you to feel in a safe space and not feel afraid.

Note: content may be applicable to all ages. However, I have ranked it as mature due to sensitivity. This is my personal experience. Thanks for understanding.

Thank you.
