Positive Growth
by Gia Rad
Today, I embrace a sense of optimism.
Optimistic that a new chapter is unfolding,
And I’ve finally escaped the torment I endured with you.
Confident that not every moment is a concealed nightmare.
Today, I find joy in the vibrant colors of a rainbow
And stand resolutely amidst the relentless downpour.
For the first time in ages, I am certain—
I’ve triumphed over what many cannot, and will even flourish with time.
I’m learning to recognize your kind and steer clear
Of the darkness that lurked within your soul.
Yes, I may feel drained and emotionally bare,
But I am POSITIVE I’ve reclaimed my power—and tomorrow, I’ll unveil to the world
That I’ve rediscovered the ability to love and trust myself.
You will witness my positivity as clear evidence of my healing,
Especially when contrasted with an earlier reflection titled “Life…”
Life
by Gia Rad
“Life” has delivered a devastating blow,
And here I lie, feeling as though I am fading away…
On what feels like my deathbed, I write to declare
That “Life” has always been synonymous with You.
I never foresaw that offering you my heart would come at such a high price—
Unaware that your predatory nature would drain my very essence.
Farewell, my past friend and lover,
Goodbye to one who never deserved a fraction of my time.
