FIREPLACE POETRY

You hurt my feelings

you broke my pride

you villainized my kid

even though yours lied.

I drank the poison

for the longest time

hoping it would help me

and soothe my mind.

But then I woke up

and realized it will never be the same

because I’ll never like you

and that’s perfectly okay.

I drank the poison

when instead I should forgive

I need to let go

and finally choose to live.

So here I am

laying my anger down

choosing to forgive

by re-tuning the sound.
