Cut It Out

Cut out the shame

The parts you don’t want to see

Cut out the hurt

The parts that keep coming for me

Cut out the scars

The parts the haunt my dreams

Cut out the abuse

The parts that excepted the excuse

Cut out the insecurity

The parts that gave me instability

Cut of the lies

The parts that cut off all my ties

Cut out the isolation

The parts that created easy manipulation

Cut out the stranger that I see

Making room for the women I’ll be

Unapologetic for my strength, wisdom, my faith

That part will stay.

The love will stay.

The outspoken will stay.

The untamable will stay.

The beautiful storm will stay.

The peaceful rain storm will stay.

Cut out the pain

Make room for me and don’t you dear complain.
