How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
To lull me to sleep
With your razor blade words and saccharine tones
You trapped me in a box till my arms and legs outgrew that absurdly tiny space
That tension made me explode into fractions of the minutest pieces all over the place
It has been taking me years to find them and pick them up
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
To rape me incessantly
Bleeding me to the core
Jeering and misleading me once more
Your wicked plans strapped close to your chest
As you imagine more ways of torturing me undetected
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
To speak abominations
Of hollow empty promises
Dangling the shadow of hope in your hands
Deceiving me into oblivion
Giving me the drink of darkness in the soul
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
To shame me in the court of the multitude
As you plant those seeds of doubt and discontent
In the secret fields of my solitude
Your weeds have been crowding my mind
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
To pollute my well of purity
With evil intentions and belligerent energies
The silent waters that once ran deep have been stirred like a hornet’s nest
Stinging me with pain unbearable
I numbed myself in silence
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
To parade me in my innocence
Before throngs of unrecognizable faces
Invading my space and bringing me to the guillotine
Avoiding my gaze and pleas for help
You fed me to the pack of wolves
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
To snuff out all my brilliant ebullience
You extinguished the optimistic flame within
And turned it into the raging fires of rage
Yet trapped inside my inner world
Twisting every right to express myself
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
To blind me to the true beauty of creation
Making me look at all the lack
By imposing the narratives of your turbulent past
Stealing my joy robbing my purest gratitude
Forcing entry into my world by hurling your ugly world into mine
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
To mock me and hurl insults on my humanness
You made me fear your judgement and all the daggers that you threw my way
I kept running away from you to save my soul and yet I kept running back to you seeking your approval
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
A chemist of unbelievable proportions
Concocting decisive manipulation
In ways that hide beneath the sheets
The clues of neglect have been mixed with sugar and spice but nothing that was nice
Leaving so much distaste
Yet taking away all other options on the menu
I was left with nothing to eat but garbage
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
To stunt my growth in every imperceptible way
Making me second guess myself
Casting a hurricane of disbelief
Tormenting me with the fear of failure and rejection
Addicted to the image of perfection
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
To play me over and over again
An unwilling participant in your torturous game
Pressure on me to defend my inner child
Revelling in my anguish
Never putting an end to my cries
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
To goad me into the sunken levels of your bane existence
Frying my emotions and pulverizing my identity
Pushing me to monster-like tendencies
Stop projecting your vile nature unto me
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
Questioning my life
After trampling on me unnoticeably
In the silence of the crowd
You hid your lifetime abuse with all the gravel of your words
But your actions betrayed you
They revealed your abyss of pain and dysfunction
Till you could no longer live the layers of lies
As your manipulations chased you
How dare you!
Who do you think you are?
You are not me.
Do not fool yourself into thinking that we are one and the same.
Deal with your thoughts. Deal with your emotions. Deal with your choices. Deal with your lies. Deal with your manipulations. Deal with your cruelty. Deal with who you are and the path that you have chosen.
This is the healing end of all the abuse.
This is the end of the tale you tried to weave.
This is the end of the horror you tried to heap.
This is the end of the sick game you trapped me into playing.
This is the end of you wanting to be me.
This is the end of you stealing my identity.
This is the end.
I am finally free.
IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE
