I Have Gotten Rid of You

by Alena Harris



I must say that I feel sane.
I feel normal again.
I didn’t feel  like myself when I was with you.
I don’t feel the need to hide anymore.
I can be open and true to myself and others.
All because I have gotten rid of you.
I don’t feel the need to cry.
I don’t feel the need to scream.
I don’t feel the need to run.
I don’t feel ashamed anymore.
All because I have gotten rid of you.
I am free to be me.
I don’t have to compromise myself.
I don’t have to please you anymore.
I don’t have to just go with the flow.
All because I have gotten rid of you.
I can be happy again.
I don’t feel angry.
I don’t feel confused.
I don’t feel used anymore.
All because I have gotten rid of you.
I will be the real me again.
And all because I have gotten rid of you.
