My Real Self

This poem is so hard to write

these feelings that I have inside

all the hurt I have suffered

for I can`t count how much I've cried

the pain you've caused me over the years

with all your lies and deception

I have travelled to hell and back

now see you through a new perception

you will never hurt me again

as I am now so much stronger

resisting your false attention

I can survive this for longer

 holding my head up to the world

 I'm not a sacrificial lamb

right now I am my own person

 see me for who I really am

seeing people for who they really are, helps me to find my real self...
