Poem 5, Herself

Moving is upon her.
A new chapter in her life is on the horizon;
to live near her family and friends.

She was isolated for so long by her ex
and thought she deserved to be alone.
There are memories filled with lies, gaslighting and fear;
Journals of his secrets he told her not to write.
He used her mental illness against her.
She was his perfect victim.

And now she belongs to herself.
