You don’t get to celebrate my thriving
You don’t get to feel good about my success
You didn’t want my mess
You don’t deserve my happiness
I’m flourishing in spite of you
And you don’t get to share
I don’t think you’re aware
Of how much of me you broke
How much of me it took
You don’t get to applaud
How I managed to repair
The damage you’ve done
This smile is mine
Brought on
By the strength I found
In the ruins of us
