You took something from me
A part of me that has left me feeling less whole
You took something from me
Something that was never yours to begin with
You took something from me
And now I don’t know how to get it back
You took something from me
The light inside of me that made me shine so bright
You took something from me
As though I owed it to you
A part of me is missing because of you
I have this piece of me missing and
I find myself looking for it everywhere
But I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
Is it joy? Feeling safe in my own body?
You took it all with you that day
You took something from me
And it wasn’t ever yours to begin with.
I just want to be myself again. Be Whole again. To love myself again.
But you took something from me and now I don’t know if I’ll ever be that girl again.
Whole, safe, happy
No, I don’t know if I’ll ever feel those things again.
I love this because it makes me think even when I read this twice. I love that I can’t pin point if it’s one thing, multiple things, everything, feelings, or a person. It causes me to think about an event maybe traumatic but I’m still not sure and I love that. I love the uncertainty and it causes me to want to read more and it gets me hooked the way that it’s set up.
Thank you so much for your continued support Wilson! As short as It is, It was a difficult piece to write. I’m glad you enjoyed this piece! I didn’t get much feedback so I wasn’t sure how to feel about it. I’m glad it makes it made you think and that you enjoy my writing!
I haven’t visited your blog in a while sibling and for that I apologize 😩 this is a powerful piece and I can imagine definitely not easy to write. I love the quote you used in the beginning and I think it is definitely something relatable. I wish less people lived to traumatic moments that can lead to these thoughts but they unfortunately that is not the case.
I keep imaging you reading this at an open mic!
Thank you for sharing this and keep writing, keep healing. Love you ❤️
Thank you Evaloonster! It was definitely a tough piece to write but I’m glad i did. Thank you always for supporting my blog and checking it out even if it’s once in a while. Means a lot to me. Love you too💚
