Now I’m free

I refused to suffer

Refused to feel the pain

Trapped in the box you placed me in

I found a way to escape

Be free from your lies

Be free from the shame

I faced my fear

I sought relief

I searched for closure

From such a pathetic being

My pain is not a game

My suffering is not comedy

I’m worth more than you made me out to be

I protected myself

More than anyone will understand

You did not have my consent

You did not have my permission

Whether I froze or fled

You should have known better

But now I’m safe

Did all that needed to be done

Now I’m free
