Fruitful
I want to nail you to the wall
I want to make you pay
I want your softness and attentions
I punish myself when I want you
I want you to feel the sting and stop
I contort and cut out
I twist and I split
I bind myself until there's only pain
I perish in pursuit of the pleasure
I starve on full rations
I eat the poisoned sweets
I loathe my need for nourishment
I bought the lies
I took the hook
I had no recourse
I was marvelously resilient
I don't want you anymore
I spit you out
I cut down your groves
I burn your branches
I salt your earth
I hold my lacerations
I piece together the puzzle
I sift through the rubble
I stitch myself
I pull all your weeds
I am the gardener here now
I reject your farce
I don't need your illusions
I am powerful now
I am no longer the child
I am Warrior
I am Heroine
I am Justice
I am Mercy
I am Vulnerability
I am Joy
I am Connected
I am Changed
I am Humble
I am Meek
I am Fragile
I am Steel
I am Wise
I am Nourished
I am Loved
I am Truth
I am Grief
I am Real
You are Fake
You are Lies
You are Poison
You are Hate
You are Abuse
You are Weak
You are Trapped
You are Fragment
You are Misery
You are Alone
You are Discarded
You are Cut off
You are my past
But you are not my future
You are Compost
I am Coming Up Roses
Justice is seen in my blossoms
Healing is smelled in my perfume
Fruit comes from hard pruning
And you are gone
Only Fruits I Grew are Left
I am fruitful

Thought provoking. : )
