Phoenix

the day I realized

no matter how long

 I live with that abomination of a man

the dirty John

the despicable narc

when walking out

I will be empty

empty handed

from love

Empathy

Affection

Care

Money

Health

Mental health

I knew then

having empty hands from all that

But carrying my self esteem

joy

Happiness

I will rebuild

That will make me whole again

That moment

I died inside

That moment

I came back to life

Never to die like that again

I was alive after almost 2 decades

That moment I didn't realize

What didn't kill me

Made me stronger

That moment

I was the Phoenix

I am The Phoenix

I am Phoenix

I am Hapi
