A message to you.
Message To You
I've been trying to get this message to you.
The hate you feel is not with me, it's inside you.
I've been through what you've been through.
I wondered why you always threw it at me,
I understand now it was easier for you to be.
I was devastated and lonely when you disposed of me.
I can't change you, but I've learned how to protect me.
Our lives were hard, not for the weak. The anger still speaks.
I've been trying to get this message to you.
The hate you feel is not with me, it's inside you.
I've been through what you've been through.
I felt your pain and hurt and I protected you.
All I wanted was the same from you.
I've got the rest of my life to live without you, and I'll miss you.
It'll take a lot of work to remove your residue.
My protection exists without the existence of you.
By Joelle Miller
