Unforgiving This Time Around Poem by chelsi Ruffing

I’m not scared anymore of you
Hitting me was the last thing you will ever do
I’ve walked away knowing things were never going to be alright
I got tired of everything day being another fight
I had to learn its just better being only me
However I wish it didn’t take me so long to see
At one time you were my everything and more
But you lost me when I walked out that door
Unforgiving this time around
With you I lost something after everything the truth was found
Was I ever in love I don’t really know
But if you did love hitting me wasn’t away to show
I’ve blocked every memory and threw out every gift given to me
what was this all for? What was it meant to be?
I thought I was strong but you made me feel weak
You made it hard to fight back or speak
Letting things for so long I was wrong
Now I can stand here and take anything from being so strong
Unforgiving this time around
This time I’m not scared to speak up and make a sound
I finally got up and walked away
I guess there isn’t much left to say
