Dear you,
I think you know who you are,
You’re the one who taunted me
The one who told me I wasn’t good enough.
I wasn’t perfect.
You told me to put down the fork
and pick up the knife.

I have to let you go.
I can’t be with you anymore.
I can’t spend my days thinking about.
I can’t spend my money on you.
I refuse to acknowledge you.
I have moved on.
I think we both knew this was coming.
I mean, he makes me feel so happy,
and beautiful too.
I don’t need you anymore.
You created a void,
That I thought no one could fill
And he came along and now…
I feel right with myself.
Even if this doesn't last,
he will have left something in me:
hope.

But I have one last request:
Don’t do this to anyone else
please
I don’t want another person to suffer
Like I had to
I don’t want to hear about another person
Hiding in fear and shame
Please don’t do it.
Please.

Yours sincerely,
A survivor

My pen is the barrel of a gun. Remind me which side you should be on.

I am very impressed not only by your writing but also by you. I know how hard it is and I myself have not quite gotten there but you seem to be able to write it out and heal. I admire you.
