Released

Released

Hate died today
Freed a soul of bitterness
Internal demons
Can eat one alive
Years of anger 
Burn deep within
Extinguished today
At last a breath exhaled
A lifetime of cruelty
A soul scarred deeply
Mended instantaneously
Hate died today
Joy filled the deep black hole
Created over time
The brutality of 
Physical
Mental
Sexual
Malice 
Tore a world apart
A sigh of relief escaped lips
Heavy weight removed
Hate died today
Conclusively
 I am free
