My Kindness..
Was not a weakness it was a strength.
Was not because you deserved it but
Because my soul did.
Was because I picked sunshine over the dark.
Was because I thought my best vengeance
was to never let you dictate who I became.
Was to show you I could be who you could never be.
Kind. Soft. Fair. Pliable yet strong.
You were too foolish to see love as a weakness.
You were too self-absorbed to examine if you truly deserved my
love and support and prayers and kindness and acceptance.
I lay you a nice little trap by being good to you when you
Hurt me and enjoyed seeing me squirm.
I let you fall by constantly telling you I would never give up on you.
So you could yell and ignore and harm me.
It is a terrible energy to invite when you cross
someone who served you selflessly.
It is a cardinal error to harm someone who depends on you
especially if you caused them to be dependent on you.
You were too vain to notice your time was up.
Drunk in your power to recognise that the tides had changed.
Your chance was done.
Today: you can repent and wring your hands.
Wish you could go back in time and do it over.
Try to think where the one good thing happened
Slipped away amidst your tightest grasp.
You then realise she slipped out from your grasp.
You see she meant it when she said she
loved you and you alone.
She never cheated or lied or stole or pretended.
She never gave you up or withheld anything.
What weapon will you wield against the
Might from Above?
What hope have you when the
Heavens have turned their face away from you?
You can scrounge the scraps for more lies.
Do your voodoo and send your goons.
You have not known the fury of the
Patient Warrior and Selfless Lover.
We fight for right and not might.
We do not hold a grudge
but we hold the truth.
And we.will.not.back.down.from.it.
So bring your Storm
Bring your dark and dank depths.
I will dispel it all from within.
For Darling don’t you see:
I was born in your dank depths and lasted
long enough to see the light.
Now that I have breathed in love and light
acceptance and grace.
My fear is displaced by a faith so firm.
There is nothing you can do to shake me.
