I am finally free

by Beautiful Tragedy   Jul 28, 2017


Staring at my hands
I sit on the edge of the bed,
Back against the wall with my feet propped up.
At this point the sobs and tears have finally come to a stop,
But the emotions remain.
The air is still and the room is quiet;
Only the sound of the fan and
Air conditioner fill the silence.
I've come to realize that nothing in our
"Relationship" was really what it seemed.
And after months of putting it off
I finally broke down and cried.
Not for you.
Not for us.
For me.
I cried for me.
Because after all I've been through,
I deserve to finally forgive myself.
Taking a deep breath I look down at my shaking hands
And then back to my phone;
Still waiting on an important text message.
I've spent three hours crying and sorting
Through all of the pent up thoughts,
Feelings, and emotions that I shut out
Because you always made it seem that
They were not important.
I finally realized
None of this was my fault.
That whatever I feel IS important;
And I no longer have to be afraid.
Letting the last of my tears slide down
My face I realize something so important
That it almost hurts:
I am finally free.
