A poem.

Worn and torn.

Scream and shout.

You can’t win.

I won’t let you take me out.

I’ll walk through your dark clouds.

No matter how far.

And I will find the sun shining.

With the moon and stars.

I’ll laugh at your name.

As I spit in your face.

Man, you always were such a huge fucking disgrace.

My mind was clouded, and I was young.

The decisions I had made.

Yeah, they were pretty dumb.

But to let someone steer my life for so long.

Once the fog cleared, I felt like I was gone.

I can’t remember my last original thought.

But I can remember all the times that we fought.

I can’t remember this or that.

Because I had to endure your toxic mishap.

Sometimes, not everyone is who they say they are.

And that’s why I sit and judge you from a far.

I won’t let another soul steer mine wrong.

I’ve waited to be where I’m at now….

For far too long.
