savior [CW: violence, suicide ideation]

I saved myself

When I kept secrets

I saved myself

When I threatened to tell if he didn’t stop

I saved myself

When I told myself it was my fault

I saved myself

When I drank to forget

I saved myself

When I broke my silence

I saved myself

When I froze


I saved myself

When I started therapy

I saved myself

When I quit jobs consuming me

I saved myself

When I moved

I saved myself

When I picked myself back up

I saved myself

When I learned to feel on purpose

I saved myself

When I said goodbye

I saved myself

When I admitted I wanted to die

I save myself

Every time I let my heartbreak

I save myself

Every time I refuse to look away

I save myself

Every time I challenge violence

I save myself

Every time I hold others dissolving

I save myself

Every time I let myself dissolve
