It’s True
It’s true
what they say about
God and man.
The best laid plans…
I gathered
pieces of me
and sent them off
for judgment.
It’s true
what they say about
obstacles.
Opportunities in disguise…
The verdict
came back.
I was guilty
of overstepping.
It’s true
what they say about
clouds.
Silver linings…
Mediocre Kim
was born.
She battered me and
beat me down.
It’s true
what they say about
doors.
One closes. One opens…
I stood up.
I hit back.
I bloodied her
and left her for dead.
It’s true
what they say about
resilience and grit.
What doesn’t kill you...
