I’m gonna be
\njust fine
\nafter nights of crying
\nand
\nreassuring phone calls.
\nI’m gonna be alright
\ngonna
\nsurvive this rut I thought I
\nwas stuck in.
\nI’m tired of fighting
\nbut it’s feeling more like
\nfight or flight
\nand I’m even more tired
\nof running away.
\nThis time
\nI’m gonna be just fine
\nfelt like the end of the world.
\nTurns out
\nit was the start of a new life.
\nInstead of being held back
\nI’m
\ngonna embrace this trial
\nand face these miles ahead.
\nAlready ran a thousand
\nI can walk a few more.
\nI’m gonna be just fine.
\nTake
\nsome breaths.
\nI’ll be okay by myself.
\nDidn’t need anyone before
\nyou came along.
\nStill don’t need someone
\ntelling me I’m pretty
\nor smart
\nor calling me out when I’m wrong.
\nI know I’m
\nnot perfect but
\nI’m better off without you
\nholding me back
\nholding me down.
\nWhat, you think
\ndid me a favor?
\nHere’s your name on a
\nplaque.
\nHang it where
\nour picture used to be.
\nI’m gonna be just fine
\nbelieve me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
