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 ~redrivergirl "Men need to hunt.
