Deserved Better

Healing can make you angry

Not because you’re turning cold

You’re finally seeing clearly What you carried all those years alone

You spent a lifetime adapting

To things you never should’ve borne

Stayed quiet just to keep the peace While your own needs got

ignored

Surviving meant putting everyone first

Now the truth is hitting hard

That anger can be painful

But sometimes it’s your mind Finally saying

what happened to you mattered

You don’t have to stay here forever

Don’t have to rush the fire either Healing starts when you admit

You deserved better

How many times you swallowed it down

How much of your life you gave away

Standing in the wreckage now

Of all the days you didn’t stay

You don’t have to stay angry forever

But you don’t have to race the pain

Sometimes the wound has to speak first

Before the soul can rise again

That anger can be painful

But sometimes it’s your mind Finally saying

what happened to you mattered

You don’t have to stay here forever

Don’t have to rush the fire either Healing starts when you admit

You deserved better

You deserved better

You always did
