Chiquitachiamaka Baity Poet Free verse

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

Judy Ball September 3, 2011 at 12:04 PM 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
