Three of Swords (Reversed)

Once I was yours
Three swords
Stabbed in my heart
Doubt, self hatred, heartbreak
You made me believe
There was nothing stronger
Or safer than your love
That I was powerless
But then I sent
a lightning bolt
Crashing my prison
to the ground
I lived in the ruins a while
Thriving from the misery
The pain I caused myself
Fuelling my hateful life
Then the stars shone
The goddess gave me her strength
And I pulled out the swords
Recovery, self love, hope
