Goodbye enemies talking and stalking I never knew you while you spoke rearranging truth snide comments rude ideas toxic seeds in infertile soil planted deep without water dried without roots Goodbye enemies branches without leaves leaves without life rotting designs molding fruits twisting reality wildest roots lifting up houses poisoning mine Goodbye enemies smirk and stare I don't care I never knew you and you never knew me trauma bonding at my expense a primitive mindset but no drums or pretty colors or life-fortifying culture dried and dead Goodbye enemies

Goodbye Enemies
Goodbye enemies talking and stalking I never knew you while you spoke rearranging truth snide comments rude ideas toxic seeds in infertile soil planted deep without water dried without roots Goodbye enemies branches without leaves leaves without life rotting designs molding fruits twisting reality wildest roots lifting up houses poisoning mine Goodbye enemies smirk and stare I don't care I never knew you and you never knew me trauma bonding at my expense a primitive mindset but no drums or pretty colors or life-fortifying culture dried and dead Goodbye enemies
Dedicated to the Smith and Green Clan of attackers with no boundaries, respect for newbies or common decency. I was made a target of people from two different families while trying to date someone. They made me a vessel for their hate for him (the family scapegoat). It's a hard thing to endure, as a woman. One year later and I'm still processing the experience. Needless to say, a strong history of alcohol and substance abuse ran through these families I once knew. How they survive living the way they do is beyond me. They cut me. I was blindsided. I am still healing. Leaving that relationship was one of the best things that happened to me.
