How Dare You

How dare you judge me
with you it was anything
but a guarantee

Only choosing the parts 
you like
disregarding the rest
not satisfying your delight

Punishing me for my past
a deep pain
you will never grasp

Absent when the darkness
you brought left me
in a paralyzing twilight
poisoned by your snake bite

You are not the judge of
my life experiences
you haven't the right
to have any grievances

For I found beauty in
your imperfections
mine were a reason for rejection...

Dear Sofia. Good Morning. You are you hear you roar. Thank goodness you broke way from a toxic situation and life. Know you deserve better. Your words have strength and courage. May you always see and know that. You have expressed yourself with dignity and grace in this entry. Let yesterday be yesterday. Well done entirely. Thank goodness for poetry.

Your feelings surface and carry the emotional force behind your words. Your simplest words can carry the most weight when you make the reader feel them as well as hear them; and you do this well. Emile.
