Wildfires

I know it’s going to be difficult to deal with
Ana and Mia and Autumn, occasionally
But I am confident that I can do it
I won’t need them someday
Just me, only me
Is all I’ll need eventually.

My journey is far from over
But I’m not going to give up,
Not going to let anyone control
My thoughts, my actions.

You think you’re going to get rid of me?
You’re sadly mistaken,
Iris, if you think it’s that easy.

One day, it won’t be a challenge
To keep on moving forward and not look back
At who I used to be, who I tried to be
Which wasn’t me.

I’m not getting rid of you, Ana
I’m moving on, one step at a time
Because another girl out there
Who thinks she needs you
Is going to be your new priority soon.

Hello,
My name is Iris,
And I am on my way to recovery.
Nobody is going to stop me or convince me otherwise.
