Even After

Even after all the pain

After all the rejection 

I would let you back in.

I would do it guarded and on high alert

But I would definitely try

Even after all the lies that you have told about me

After all those days I wished to be free

I would still sit with you

I would do it without apprehension but willingness.

But I would be reserved from your taking your advice.

Even after the loss of my happy teenage years

After all the hiding I had to do and the shame

I would let you know the “now” me

I would pray each day, so I could have courage to stand strong

But I will never willingly let you hurt me again.

Even after the rumors, the harm, the backstabbing

After everyone has formed their own opinions of me 

I would let you genuinely love me

I would prefer that you are humble

But I won’t beg you for none of this, ever.

Even after…
