The Struggle Of You

by amanda-shelton

You ignited a fire in my mind, and a wound in my heart. The scars are a ladder for me to climb. I lost everything with each step I took, I went up while you kept falling, I would meet you at the bottom, but you pulled me further down beneath you to uplift yourself using my suffering as your gain. You started a fire in my heart, and a question in my mind. The scares you left behind is a reminder you are the darkness we all should fear. I realized I never had you, you never wanted to climb beside me and be my equal my partner my muse and lover. You only wanted me to suffer so you can feel better about your fragile shivering cowardly ego. However, I shook you off, as a brave and intelligent individual should, for I have been through many a struggle and I never dimed, instead I grew brighter and stronger in your shadow. Now I shine and you lost my time and heart. No more I love you's, no more insane accusations, no more painful arguments that you started with your useless whining and complaining. You are beneath me. As is above as is below, the flames ignite inspiration and a glow of aspiration. Here I go... ©️ 2026 By Amanda Shelton
