She was a young girl looking for a Man to make her feel safe and loved.
That’s how she found him.
She was at her weakest, and that was her biggest mistake.
She found a Man hurt by his past, and he found a little girl willing to give him a chance.
At first it was great; they laughed, smiled and loved.
But one day that changed.
Something in him snapped, no longer did he make her feel safe.
No.
Now she was afraid.
Afraid of the words from his mouth that pierced her heart straight through.
She felt disgusting, like a doll used and abused by an ungrateful child.
No longer was she her joyful self, but rather the shell of a girl she once was.
Because while the Man was trying to fill that hole in his heart,
He tore hers to pieces.
Her mother found her crying herself to sleep, and asked the burning question:
Why are you with a Man who makes you feel so small?
Then it hit her.
She made the decision.
She left him.
The Man blamed her for leaving him broken, but she was finished listening to his lies.
So she turned around and replied,
“You were already broken to begin with”.
That day she walked a bit taller.
That day she changed her life.
She is no longer that little girl anymore.
Now she is a Woman.
A Woman not torched by her past, but strong in her future.
So, to the Man that made me feel small:
I hope you can see the Woman I’ve become.
