At times, this transition seems like forever
There is a light at the end of the tunnel somewhere.
Still harboring resentment
I write these words
Reminders to disavow the charmer
Some don't understand.
I ask
If someone tossed a boulder at you,
Would you cower in fear?
If a man, rips your heart out
Day after day
Pummels it
Would you just wipe your tears and make excuses?
No, you can and will stand up
With a few simple words
In a moment of clarity, I heard them
Embracing those words with my heart
Holding on to them for dear life
Climbing up
Fist over Wrist
Out of my miry pit
Making my way out of the darkened tunnel
Running toward the light
Letting it fill my heart
Emancipating my soul
From the bane which,
I called my existence.
Oh,
To roam barefoot in the fields
Knowing that the love of my life
Will soon be near
