Instinct

Instinct

A Poem by Merenda Morris
"

Fed up with negativity from people who're supposed to love me. I rebel and rebuke. I live.

"

Forced into a corner, no way out teeth baring, fighting intensely with no reward

In inevitable defeat, I’m weakened by my own struggle

Forcing thoughts of everlasting past my subconscious I notice bitter admirations

Let me fight

Taken over by rage, it consumes me as I age despising everything you claim to be; yet you are nothing to me.

Not knowing the full intent of past tense pent up aggression the anger lessens my ability to withdraw

Tooth and nail I fight but the harder I bite I constantly hold back the tears with every ounce of my might and will but still they come

Needing to be released my tears don’t cease, and I begin to see clearly what needs to be done

Denouncing all control you no longer have a hold my heart will no longer grow cold you have no rights.

I will survive and live happily eventually you’ll see your cowardice didn’t pass on to me.

So go on try to hold me down with your barren and useless frowns you know the ones you threw when you came around, those that I turned into my crowns I gladly accept your ridicule

But they’re miniscule seeing as though your whispers will not dwell here

So my soul cheers no rejoices as I slowly regain my voice this is the epitome of all my pain

With nothing to loose and so much to gain I rebuke the blues and neglect the rain making myself unfit to nurture them

Victorious wins overcoming past inequities and sins I grin I live I win.

 

The End.
