Milestones
Blessings In Disguise
One of the greatest milestones I ever hit
Happened in this moment
I never knew it would be like this
But I always knew it would happen
I thought things would be different
But I knew I would be scapegoated
All the abuses all these years
Still blamed for others actions
Yet nothing will stop me
From being who I AM
Or blowing the whistle on cruelty
It’s sick
That I should have to live like this
But I didn’t create it
I simply rose to the occasion
But I will NEVER let anyone
Walk all over me
I never did
I’ve always fought back
Even when it yielded me
Repeated beatings
Murder attempts
Abuses no one should ever experience
Then slandered as a “whore”
“Homewrecker”
“Bigot”
“Abuser”
“Predator”
“Gold digger”
“Thief”
I’ve worked since I was 4 years old
While others have taken all my money
All my credit
For all I have created
I can’t imagine taking from someone
Abusing them
Or watching them get abused, tortured
Refusing to take a stand
I can’t imagine being so selfish
Assuming you and yours
Are worth more than me and mine
But claiming to be for equality
While living off someone else’s gifts
As if you were born for privilege
And I for enslavement
What kind of illness is this
Whatever leads to this kind of grift, sadism
I want NOTHING to do with it
I’ve ALWAYS been this person
Regardless of what some predator said
Why listen
When you’re so easily mislead
About someone who did nothing but show love
You prove what’s in your soul
Regardless of how “great” you appear
Such actions are deceiving
I live in the authentic
Whatever fake exists in your spirit
Is no consequence of my actions
I’ve shown so much kindness
So much love
So much generosity
So much everything
Yet all you did was take
Allow others to take
Allow me to be blamed
How can I forget
What I am currently living
No more will I live
No more will I be silent
You can claim your money
But did you have to claim mine?
Stolen through evil means
Everything about you is what it is
Placing you in a manufactured paradise
Pretending to be like me
But you’ll always be fake
Created from my dreams, my visions, my energy
All to gain money, power, sex, attention
Sounds narcissistic to me
You turned out precisely as you began
With someone else’s genius
All you had to do was be somewhat honest
Instead
You abandoned
Over and over again
You had decades to balance the scales
All you did was delay
Which kept me trapped in torture
Sick
Why such cruelty
Why so many games
You asked for me
I delivered every time
Every request
Can’t imagine how you could look at me
At my lowest
Then act like you don’t know me
Because you think I’m too beath your life experience
You forget
I know who you are when you take off the mask
When you’re all alone
Busted down to pretext
You’re nothing like what you put on
That’s all an act
I AM all the time
What you see is what you get
What I say is what I am
You’re one person in public
Another inside your head
Except when it profits your show
You act like I’m not real
I thought you meant friendship
Not griftship
I thought you were asking for compassion
Not a free ride again
After all, you are well aware that I have nothing
I never imagined you betrayed me from the beginning
How sick is that
All I asked for was truth
Clarity
Ease my suffering in the war to which I was
Conscripted
Instead
You joined in
I just can’t!
Letting go forever
Cutting EVERY tie
All things severed
Forever
I won’t even remember your name
Don’t take it harshly
Just know this is a lesson
I loved you for who I thought you were
Who I thought you were being
Turns out I didn’t know you
But guess what
You’re one of MANY
That’s what happens when you’re tortured
Hard to find clarity
But that’s how oppression works
YOU have been all in with it
Sick
Decade after decade
You helped bury me in darkness
Unapologetically
Was there a gun to your head?
No, it was at mine
I thought it hurt you
Turns out you just wanted who knows what
But certainly not to be honest
Or to help me get away from the binds
To so many torturing me is funny
So many of those who abused me are your close friends
Hence the reason, this is no surprise
You are who you choose to be with
To treat a human this way
To me it’s disgusting
The very thing you say about the man
Who continues to help me every day
You claim he’s evil
Because you listen to propaganda STILL
Yet he never did anything like what have
Actually, he jumps in to help when the weak & vulnerable
Are being targeted
You on the other hand are content
To let it happen
I see you clearly now
You were never the man I imagined
You do you
Just don’t do me
I won’t have it!
So Be It
SHE
p.s. Balance the scales
Pay what you owe
Or reap what you sow
It’s not a threat
If that’s what you claim
It’s energetic
Again, I said “lesson”
