Listen

The mounting manifestation of your mistrust Has been the source of the confusion that separates us The asinine allegations that you hurl at me Are only to deflect your own dishonesty Your constant unfounded and unproven accusations Are most certainly the expression of intensifying intimidation Terrified by the power that I possess you would opt to see me overshadowed, outshined and oppressed you have continually conspired to weaken my pride Would you prefer that I cower, recoil, or hide? The Optical illusions of your minds trickery Have distorted you perception of our reality I am not your property, asset or possession Worthy to be respected, not met with aggression You have annihilated my opinions, forced me into silence Restraining my insight is the cruelest form of violence Asphyxiating me with you idiotic uncertainty Smothering my peace with your moronic misery Suppressed by your suspensions long enough. I have shed my fears, I have discovered my worth I refuse to quietly follow in your frightening footsteps Muffling my shouts: I can no longer accept I am freeing my thoughts and releasing these words. I have found my voice and now I demand to be heard .

Simply an absolutely frickin' brilliant piece of poetry my dear. I hope the SOB got (or gets) what he deserves. He certainly doesn't deserve to have one such as you. Write on...Terry

Excellent write my dear on all counts. If you don't stand up for yourself no one else will stand up for you. I have a bad inferiority complex and I have learned there are those who will use that against you to make themselves feel stronger. If you put yourself down they will help you do it. I had to learn that when you put yourself down you are finding fault with what God Himself has done because you are the handiwork of God. God Bless, JB
