Ascend

Ascend

I sit here and go over what our life was together. I remember things so differently than you do. I remember the love that was there. The passion. I remember the slow decent. You are so good at it. I remember you telling me I was your world. The only woman you ever truly loved. I felt worshipped. We were amazing for so long. Or that's what I thought. I look back on 'us' from a different perspective now. I see it all for what it was. A slow decent into my madness. The conversations we had, I remember vividly. You told me I was mistaken. That's not what was said. I remember my face being crushed. But, it didnt happen the way I remember it. According to you. I remember staying after that. All the apologies and love. You were so good at manipulating me. I questioned every conversation I have had. I questioned who I am. I questioned whether I'm good enough. You were my decent into darkness. I did find my sanity. I left. I regained my strength, my sense of worth. You have no power over me, you never will again. I have ascended from the darkness.

I just had to pin this. It really moved me. When you are in a relationship you don't always see things as they truly are. It is not until that relationship is over that things become more transparent. The things you questioned to yourself become oh so blatantly clear. Your poem brought home to me the horrible thing that 'gaslighting' is. Well written, and I am glad you are out of it now x

It is sooo hard...trust me, I know!  Hang on in there because it DOES get better. Gaslighting robs you of your self esteem and you question your own sanity. But...you ARE sane and you have a fantastic ability to write so clearly and poetically.  Keep astounding us with your wonderful words. Confidence can grow as well as shrink.... allow it to grow ? x
