"they say 'that' expecting me to
react or respond or to bring it up or whatever desired.

and...and after so long, so many times, realization hit me
like an enormous thunderstorm,

it is true.

i don't resent them anymore,
don't doubt the spoken anymore.
for it is not an accusation anymore
no, not anymore

rather a statement, a fact for sure.

i'm all those and more.

all i've been all along really and all i'll ever be capable of is ruin things,
be the mess, the problem that i am

and...and
nothing more than an animal.
*scoffs*in fact animals are better.

i'm merely nothing.

...so let there be a reconciliation within me...

No resentments. No second thoughts. No doubts. No remorse.
Nothing.

i agree. without a fight."
