Love Survivor

Poem to prove that I can survive a broken heart, even one that’s been broken many times, it’s my inspiration for the year ahead, a new start and fresh outlook. It’s time to love myself a little! Me me me! It’s all about me! ;)

You each took a piece as your own,
Your reasons still remain unknown,
I’m taking myself out of this rack,
I’m taking all my pieces back.

I’ve lived through all the emotion,
I’ve felt unconditional devotion,
I’ve doubted myself each time,
But now I’m taking back what’s mine!

I refuse to be the victim of your insanity,
I am the key holder and I’m setting myself free,
I deserve every second of my own time,
So now I’m taking back what was always mine.

My heart is mine to give, it’s mine to take away,
I know that I will live to fight another day,
So now I make myself up a brand new start,
And I give myself all of my mended heart.

    the opening line is so true. pieces feel as if they are missing and in our heartache, we try to find them and put ourselves back together as best we can. jesus, sometimes its like we are a shattered humpty-dumpty and those pieces feel like they will never fit right again.

    very pretty work Emma.
