Thank you for teaching me 
that rage, in moderation
is the healthiest of emotions...
and that sometimes
even bitter jealousy
helps to heal wounds.

I used to be asleep 
inside this skin- 
wondering where I had gone, 
beaten down and eaten alive 
by the bulk of average society.

and this lucky penny soiled with 
anger and pain, has not blessed me-
these words, this mantra of self destruction
have not carried my spirit to silence

But I find solace in every moment
that I have spent in the revelation
that what I thought that I had wanted-
was marred with the complexities of deception
and that what I already have
is all I ever needed.

I will never have to prove myself to you
because all I am right now
is all that I ever was, 
imprisoned-
now released.
