Now I Am Free

I don't think i ever looked in the mirror and liked what i had seen,
In fact I only had thoughts about myself that were cruel, untrue and Completely mean,
I hated myself and I remembered praying to god to just let me die,
To cope all I knew how to do was just to go out and get high,
Domestic Violence is normal to Me It was the only thing I've ever known,
But then I finally had the courage to get up and leave and be on my own,
I was scared,worried and sad and felt a huge feeling of a sense of loss,
But there's no way I'd ever go back to him No matter what it cost,
A year and a half later after leaving him I was still very dead and broken inside,
There had to be something out there that I had not yet already tried,
That's when I signed up for Lives In Transitions,
A program where I get to work on my goals and all my ambitions,
For the first time in years I can finally breathe,
I learned how to finally work through my trauma and set my past free,
I'm starting to see things in a different kind of light,
I just have to constantly remind myself that YES I AM WORTH THE FIGHT,
Yes I will have good days and trust me the bad ones will come,
But now the difference is I now have all the tools to stay and not to do what I do best and thats to run,
Now I am free to do what I want without anyone's permission 
So i have to say Thank you to lives in transitions
