Gracefully Written

• •

i am becoming everything you tried to weed out.

standing before the only judgement i have ever known, 

i hum a tune of joy and resilience.

he seethes,

gnarls,

at my very existence.

may it be my energy,

aura,

or even my ability to dissent;

to amass focus toward peace,

even amongst his chaos.

i represent every semblance of your cruelty,

in mirror image;

the hatred you tried to seed

into my very being,

i amain from.
