i will not

i will not be defined
by the promise of you
by the words, by the choices
by what this put me through
i will purge you
from my sacred parts
scratch you from my skin
tear you from my heart

i will learn what it is
i need to learn
and be done with this
never to return
i will build a wall
from people like you
who think very little
of who, what and how, they use

i remove myself
from your rampant path
from the destruction you've left
and your aftermath
i will watch this love
fall from my heart
and know my truth
and own my part
