I am perfect

just as I am

"I am perfect, and he should die!"

I imagine many scenarios for his death.

Should I hang him with a giant Christmas wreath?

Or, should he slowly suffocate in a tight fitting sheath?

However, my own perfection, in which he made me feel totally imperfect,

got me thinking of the setting sun in our relationship of debts,

where no love kept me crippled and dying inside.

Until, at last, I saw the beast and his evil hide,

and I found the strength to love myself, and conquer his lies,

along with his control, and to say my good-byes.

Then, the universe sighed,

as a rainbow soared across the sky, as I cried.

I almost died, yet I did not die,

and now my wings grow, and soon I will fly!

For, the answer is not in what was,

it is to be found in what is,

and what is yet to come.

And, although he tried to kill me,

kill everything that was good in me,

for his own benefit and greed,

I was left with only a seed.

A seed of desire which sprung from deep inside my heart,

the desire to LIVE!

Which meant that we must part,

and that I must GIVE,

my love to me.

Because I AM ME, uniquely and invaluably me,

a sparkling jewel of many colours for all to see.

I am perfect in my own design and in my humanity,

just as I am, and no one can take that from me!

Although, in my heart it is hard to forgive him,

I must in order to release me, so that I can fully live,

for I have tasted flight, and I will l surely fly and thrive :).
