When you find the strength to leave your abuser, you take away his power over you. When you face your fear, you take away its power over you. When I say I am fearless, it does not mean I am not afraid. I am fearless because I faced my fears. I overcame my fears.
You will not intimidate me
Your threats have no power
Hateful words dissipate
Like smoke and nightmares
Many times I thought
My life would be taken
I am now fearless
Because I have known fear
I found the strength
To leave you behind
Your only strength
Is in your hands
Around my throat
I am now fearless
I see you in truth
A weak insecure man
You are powerless
Now that I am gone
