'Because of You' by RaeAnna G.

Because of You
By: RaeAnna G.
 
Because of you, I am a broken soul,
You thought you ruled me, just took me long to learn,
I’m glad I met you, because you showed me I do have control.
 
You put me down with your heart of coal,
Anything that I see of you, makes my stomach churn;
Because of you, I am a broken soul.
 
Despite it all, I learned how to crawl out of your hole,
I learned to be strong, that there was nothing I couldn’t upturn;
I’m glad I met you, because you showed me I do have control.
 
Your words cut so deep, soon enough they played such a role,
I couldn’t stomach you, your touch felt like a burn;
Because of you, I am a broken soul.
 
Overcoming the hurt, the doubts, oh what a toll;
Often I didn’t think I could, I was so used to the hurt, I had to be stern;
I’m glad I met you, because you showed me I do have control.
 
It all stopped the day I decided to take a stroll,
A new heart so gently grasped my broken one, I knew I could fix it all in turn;
Because of you, I am a broken soul,
I’m glad I met you, because you showed me I do have control.

This poem touched my soul. In life, there’s always someone out there who’ll prove that you are incapable every single day. No matter what you do, good or bad, there will be something about you that is lacking. This poem made me realize two things: that life is not about pleasing other people and that I can take control of myself. Life is so precious to be wasted on getting people’s acknowledgements. It’s time for us to get out of our comfort zone and be brave to stand for what we believe.
