I Like What I HateA Poem by DarkPoetI hate The sight of my blood on cracked mirrors It fills me up with so much terror The pain i felt at the sound of closed doors By those that promised me more How i cowered before them so they'd stay While toying with my mind was how they played How i thought with them i'd find happiness But they mistook my vulnerability for weakness How i tried to change who i was for their attention And kept my true real self in detention How I longingly waited for mails,texts visitation and calls For i had given to them my all How my expectation was met with a deafening silence I couldn't understand like life in its essence How deeply i was overwhelmed with the bitterness of sorrow Feeling afraid ,inadequate for the future to come tomorrow In a moment of deep reflection to find for my troubled life a solution. I discovered..I like The peace that comes with self acceptance in totality My strength,as well as my frailty The resolution to take life one day at a time A vital key to living life in its prime The futility of expecting from others that which should be given by self The joy of seeing books on my shelf The knowledge that once in my life your time is over Its not the end,along will come another The bloodied piece of a broken mirror when cleaned will provide vision As clear as a picture on the television I do not have to change my personality to be loved For in my true self I am worthy and free from reprove! How i started to write little love notes to me Expressing all the limitless possibilities that abound in me Freeing my full self from detention's gate Declaring boldly that I like what I hate!!! © 2019 DarkPoet |
