Lives In Transitions

Silenced by shame from the sexual, physical, financial and emotional abuse,
"You Stupid Bitch You Made Me Do This To You" that was always your excuse,
Struggling deep within, not recognizing my own true self worth,
You made everyday for me hell on earth,
It took all of my courage that I managed to find,
I then decided to make a promise to myself that was to finally pack my shit and leave him behind,
I was so depressed and felt so alone,
I was so scared of change, so scared of the unknown,
I left my ex so why do I still feel this way I'm so fucked up mentally ,
I decided I needed to do something and that's to stop being my own worst enemy,
Then by the graces of god I found a program called Lives In Transitions 
It's such a great and safe place and when I speak everyone listens,
Everything my ex made me believe about myself is completely and totally wrong,
If it wasn't for Lives In Transitions 
I would of never learned that I had self worth all along,
Now after all these years I can finally breathe,
I dont think I've ever felt so free,
I have to tell myself everyday "Tessa you are beautiful, strong and you are enough and you deserve to be happy." 
Because what he did to you Is not only damaging, It was also very wrong,
I still have alot of work ahead
I'm so grateful for this program,
Because without it, I honestly think I would be dead,
Now I have all the tools I need to cope,
I no longer have to rely on dope,
I'm learning how to love the new me
Finally after all these years I feel completely free,
