they tell me

it's okay to be sad

but i am not sad
i am angry

i hate you.
i truly despise you
with every ounce of my being
it weighs on my heart
on my soul
makes it hard 
to get back on my feet
stand tall
and run free
but like a newborn babe
i will learn to stand alone
once again
without you
practice. practice. practice
is all it will take
step by step. day by day
each and every rising sun
bringing forth a new birth
i must befriend silence and all his companions once again
fall in love with solitude
scrub away your lies that have coated my skin with utmost vigor
until am completely cleansed
of your poison

still
i am never letting go
of this hate
i am never
letting you go
