Fantastic — there's hidden strength in her and attitude. Don't count her down or out.

it looks and feels like three different poems, i.e. the person speaking is different in the first stanza, and it progrssively becomes more rhymed, these are not bad things, I just feel it could be a little more integrated.

Perhaps the first strophe repeats the words of the partner who is the oppressor - this is my reading of the poem. I see the woman convincing herself she is breaking free of his 'vibe'. A fascinating way to represent this situation. Perhaps a change in line breaks would shift the focus from the sudden rhyme at the end.

I loved the transitions this poem had from the beginning to the end it told a story of self discovery and strength. I truly enjoyed your work, it was very well written and I look forward to reading some of your others.
