Thank you for letting me grow roots
To wrap around friends,
The more I attachd myself,
The more hurt when you tore me away .
You were a hurricane, winds destroying
Everything ,
Including me.
You ripped me away from the ground I grew
So comfortable in,
You a tsunami,
Cold and unforgiving.
You a lightning strike,
Powerful and unpredictable.
You treated my life like dandelion
Blowing it away
On wish for a fresh start
That always turned out to
Be rotten, expired
My heart is numb to the
Pain you caused.
The numbness sprouted long ago
Like the rootless
Tree that
I am
Bearing fruit that is untouched,
Unwanted.
You gave me a poison tongue
That lashed outat others who did
Not deserve it.
For not just giving me armor but spikes.
I was broken glass and
Anyone tried to pick me up
Got cut themselves.
I thread these words together
With pain.
I cannot hate you,
Because I come from you
I realize that
Being broken is hereditary
Because
Everytime I look at you I see a
Broken mirror,
I can see myself.
But if I let you back into my heart the
Wounds that have begun to heal
Will once more tear
And I will be left
Bitter,
Broken,
Rootless.
