Survivor Poem by Tyreesha Smith

I tried
to be there for you
I Tried
to be a good woman
I Tried
to love you the way i should

But
You keep pushing me away
You keep putting me down
You keep saying I need to do better
You keep hurting me physically and emotionally

And
Now today i have stood up for myself
Today i have spoken my mind
Today I have freed myself from the hurt and pain

And im here to tell you I am a survivor
fighting the good fight of faith
