Twee jaar

Two years

Two years ago I was happy and healthy
Or so I thought.

Two years ago you came into my life
And announced your unwanted presence. 

Two years since I know of your existence
But you had invaded my body long before that moment. 

Two years ago you turned my world upside down 
And now I will always live in fear of you. 

Two years in which I've done everything to get rid of you
But your memory will stay with me forever.

Two years that you didn't get to survive
Yet I grow stronger and older.

Two years of struggle
That changed me and my life.

Two years that feel like an eternity
But now the world is at my feet again. 

Two years that left my body and mind with big bruises
That will slowly heal in the upcoming years. 

Two years ago you took the ground from underneath my feet
Today I say you're not welcome anymore, not ever again. 

Two years of misery are over 
My corner of the world is now small but mighty.

Two years of fear and looking back
Time to lay you to rest.

Two years with a lot of pain and tears
You made me vulnerable, weak and strong.

Two years of wondering who I am anymore
Now I know I'm still me, just with different nuances.

Two years in which you took away a lot from me
But you are gone and I get to rebuild my life.

Two years ago I was in shock
Today I celebrate the memory and happy days to come.

Two years ago today was a terrible day
Today it's just a memory and today is just like any other.

My future is unknown because of you
But a future is what I have despite of you.

Two years have passed
I now put you in my past.
