For Once Poem by diane henderson

For once in my life I feel like its all about me and not you.
For once in my life I feel like I can depend on myself and not you.
For once in my life I can realiize that im somebody and not a stumbling block in your life.
For once in my life I can take my feelings and run to God, instead of you bursting out at me'Damn Your Feelings'.
For once in my life I can see clearly how much you despise me.
For once in my life I no longer want to feel the touch of your uncleanse hands.
For once in my life I can accept the fact I must live life without you and others talking negative things about me.
