Firsts

Learning to live without you pushed me into a world where I was forced to ask, “Do you want to live like this?”

When I finally shouted from the rooftops, NO! My life took a shift

It took you dying for me to finally stand up for myself.

It took you dying for me to stop the cycle of abuse.

It took you dying to make me vulnerable for the first time.

It took you dying for me to demand respect from everyone.

It took you dying for me to be able to risk being messy with someone who wasn’t you.

It took you dying for me to finally be authentic.

It took you dying to open doors I never knew existed.

It took you dying for me to find authentic love like I had never known possible.

When you were taken from me, I finally found myself
