Letting Go

August 14, 20211 min read

Sometimes life destroys you. Sometimes it burns you to the ground. In March 2021 that’s what happened to me. In just 4 weeks I went from happily-ever-after to widowed-mother-of-five after making a dark and twisted discovery about my husband. Rather than be consumed by the fire, I choose to be transformed. This is my story. Watch me rise.

Heavy memories

Broken dreams

Not sure if anything is what it seems.

Dark energy, makes me sick

I don’t want to do this

But I won’t quit.

Why me? Why us?

It’s not f×cking fair.

Sick secrets revealed, more each day

Ugly demons unleashed, foul and cruel

Facts twisted and gnarled to hide the truth.

My burden is heavy

I feel the weight

It’s so hard to carry but I won’t break.

We must burn down before we can rise

The fire’s been lit

Flames dance toward the sky

Raging on until all is consumed.

Smoldering cinders, red hot embers

Soon the smoke will subside

Sift through the ashes

They no longer serve you

It’s time to

Start letting go.

Abuse isn’t always black and blue. If you or someone you know needs help, please reach out to Flight of the Phoenix Collective. We’ve got your back.
