I did the job
I jumped thru the hoops
Yet disdain met me in a loop.
I am not insane
You cannot assume your are of fame
Gas lighting will not influence me to shame
I forged thru
Tried to mend my nature
How could I bend to his liking
And be plucked by hatred
I bowed to the words
I took and breathed his vision
Could I return to that frightful illusion
Would it ever be enough?
Could he see my collapse
Did this path have room for tandem to bike?
alas .......
Now I know that disdain can have a rebirth
Shed those antiquated terms
Allow the new to enter me without germs
It is wondrous to know and love
Let my truth be told out loud
Never again to have to pay a toll
Or feel a wound, like a giant hole.
Each flower has begun as a seed
Some may expand uninterrupted
Or be seen as a weed.
Take a closer look
And breathe deeply with ease
My floral scent will appease the need.
I am not here to please
Live for YOU and all will proceed
I EMERGED from disdain
Back to the fields of green.
