I cannot explain what has happened over the last few months but this sums up how I am feeling now when I reflect on everything. Writing is once again playing an important role in my life, it’s my own therapy. 

 

Deceit

 

I think back and I can see clearer 

 

I can see the false words of support 

 

The selfish game in your movements 

 

Patronising comments that were taken as helpful remarks at the time

 

My loyalty and trust deserved your respect alone

 

The missing pieces of the jigsaw have been discovered 

 

The deceit, the betrayal and the cover ups 

 

At least I’m grounded knowing I made the right steps and now make the right choices 

 

There’s no more people pleasing, there’s no more of you having pressured expectations on me, there is no more friendship

 

I will find peace and will find calm because I know what I deserve

 

I will accept nothing less 

 

I will be free to make my own choices, be liberated and empowered

 

I will be me.
