The Process

by A.N.M. - Pisces

Years and years it's taken me
To wake without some rage...
I've spent so many years
Inside a fury-riddled cage.

They say for every "year" of pain
It takes "six months" recovery...
I think there is some truth in that
For time allows discovery!

Once you're past the wicked stench--
The things that so enraged you
You start to see with different eyes...
That "rage" no longer plagues you!

You realize so many things--
Like every one is "human"
You realize that the "girl" or "guy"
Never really questioned why
Or felt an ounce of duty
Towards YOUR wellness...
That was YOUR job none-the-less...

And one day, it seems, you wake up...
The rage is gone--you've made up...
Not with THEM but with YOURSELF!
For being blind, for being dumb
You laugh a bit...no longer numb
A lesson learned, the tables turned
And oh how you have grown!
