Figures of
Authority
Rule the years
Of our livesI stand among
The disenchanted
Multitudes
Of mature beings
To specify
A time in my life
That truly changed
My inner core
I would have to
Broach again
A still frame of pain
And person of cause
They hurt me so
With lack of concern
I wanted to scream
But instead, the hurt churned
Hateful was never
The utter intent
Of the words that ended
The year I had spent
I am able to view
The incident now
Less with anger
And more with soul
Perhaps I was
Too caught in the moment
To effectively think through
What could result
But through confrontation
I did become stronger

As if they were someday to hate
We hated gently, carefully
As if we were someday to love"-Venus Trines at Midnight
