I finally let him go…

I look in the mirror,

there is a dreamer staring back

and for the first time in my life

I can see the beauty in her soul

She is no longer tortured

tormented by thoughts of him

she has so much to thank him for

and though he will never realize

he saved her life.

letting her go was the greatest gift

he could have given.

no longer angry and frightened, she smiles

she examines the being in the mirror

and smiles once more,

“I am worth it” she says

she no longer fights each day

no longer screaming for recognition

a flower blessed by the rain

she opens her heart for the first time

triumph surges through her

as she finally admits

I don’t need him to be happy…
