I murdered Me;
I killed every part of me
The me -you broke
The me -you abused
The me -you sculpted
Verbally
Emotionally
Wickedly
I murdered
The me you loved
The me you feared
The me you crafted
Broken
Alone
Suicidal
I pieced myself together
Reconditioned each cell,
Nurtured every bruise,
Revealed each and every scar
Truths exposed
Pain subsides
Feelings return
With each new day
I relearn to love
I relearn to trust
I relearn to embrace
Full of empathy
Forgiveness
Love
Birthed from the darkness of your shadow
Grown from the ashes of grief and remorse
I finally found who I was meant to be
