To tell you
honestly
I am not sad
anymore
truly
completely
genuinely

To the people who
hurt me,
abused me and brought
me down
face first
to the ground
Screaming
Asking for help
at an age
when I should have
been dancing
in the rain

How could I be
so sad in this world
full of possibilities
and creation
and
genuine people

How could I be
when I am only in
a small city
Thinking of the many
places I could be
A  brighter city skyline
A bigger opportunity
A greater freedom
New places on the
other side of the world
New people
I’ll cherish and hold

Who are you
A mere human
made of flesh and greed
could take away the
blazing rays of the sun
shining upon me

Who are you
A mere human
could ever hush
the roaring thunder

Selfish and deceitful
making me feel
like hell was making
a home out of me


Who are you
A mere human
Hungry for issues
spitting unwanted
opinions
Face gleaming at
the look of someone
hurting inside
Could possibly
take the place
of a mountain carrying
its own weight

How could a
human like you
destroy my will
to live
When the heavens
have given me
this planet for free

How could a human
As vile as you
could make me feel
inferior
telling me
to loose a couple
of pounds
That I have a
face of someone
unlikely to be in
a magazine
That my body is no
more than your
playground

I could write
my name on
the stars

And
Even as I whistle
the wind blows
in my
direction
bowing to
my command

You have no
right
to
tell me
I dont belong here

How could I be
so sad
when
the only
time you could
shatter
me
is
If I let you
