InstinctA Poem by Merenda MorrisFed 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. © 2009 Merenda MorrisAuthor's Note
