Reconstructing Me

I remember thinking
it would take me forever to get over you,
because you had pinned me down between fears,
and I was still letting my weaker days
hold me hostage in the
institution of my mind.

You ran over me with your wheels of terror-
leaving tyre tracks on my skin
from memories of your lies;
making sure you kissed your signature
on every line.

But your hopes were set too high,
because I am looking into breaking free of you,
reconstructing myself to be stronger
and braver than you ever thought I could be.

There is nothing more that you can do to me!
