I Bloom In Spite of You ( Poetry )

A scorched forest floor
but there is life in this soil
I bloom with vengeance

Forgiveness is a mountain I have dragged myself

Over, each jagged rock piercing my side as I

Rolled down knuckled cliff faces, dragging my useless body

Giving myself over to the throes and lows of sorrow, I confess

I put my hand in the cage and came face to face with

Vicious and vile deeds taught me

Everything I need to know about the weakest kind of evil

now I write about the lesson I learned with a bloody stump / leaving lines of clear conclusions rusting on the paper / the mountain I mastered is a masterpiece, so stand in awe of its unmoved indifference / I didn’t need an apology from you to set out on my quest of healing / no stamp of approval or permission / and now I offer ‘I forgive you’ to the sea of silence separates us / a graceful declaration strong enough to stand on its own, not needing to be received / you left me a scorched forest floor, but there is still stubborn life in this soil / you will not make me bitter, I will grow an Eden in spite of you / and the wildflowers bloom from me will never know your name
