Words Filled with Intent

by Cathlyn Cartier

I refuse to be cowed by your abuses.

I’m resolute in my determination not to be beaten down,

to lose my will or my dignity

by your attempts to destroy my peaceful serenity,

my life.

Hate the things you have done in the past,

your continued attempts to steal happiness from me,

the pathetic ways you have maneuvered circumstances,

causing me to give up pride and forestall dreams in order to survive.

You vile as you are,

are beneath the level of contempt and bordering on pity

for the way you must hurt others

in order to feel worthy of being alive.

You really shouldn't hold back..let it out..tell us how you really feel! (chuckle) The man is fortunate you're not skilled in the arts of voodoo or he'd be leaping around with pains he never knew could have pains! - RCat
