I WRITE
I write to relieve this misery
A past that lies deep in me
Shattered glass on broken path
Peace and contentment
I hope to have
Demonic memories
I’ll no longer hide
Secrets make you sick inside
Nightmares revealed with much clarity
I don’t write for you
I write for me
I write to set my anxiety free
Can’t live my life
In the pit of despair
Holding grudges will
Only keep me there
I rise above life’s adversities
Extinguished
Anguish ablaze in me
Lifetime of freedom
I now seek
My poetic soul
Longs to speak
Tired of being sick and tired
Hatred for you will now expire
I must stop hating you
To better love myself
Setting me free
To love someone else
Poetically I speak
From my core
Victim of you
I will be no more
