Dear Humanity,

Do you remember when we were both young and completely infatuated with each other?
Growing nearer and more intertwined.
I gave you everything you needed and you did the same for me in return.
Those were the good old days.
God, I was smitten.
But then something changed...
I don't know why I didn't see it sooner.
I'm not sure when you became so obsessed with yourselves.
Getting a little big for your breeches
Started thinking you could take and take and never give back?
When did I give you the impression that that's how it works?
I give you Oxygen and food and water and clouds and sunsets and rainbows and All the ultraviolet colors I come in.
And you give me poison and death and spilled blood and smog and all the shades of sickened gray and brown that your guilt comes in.
Did you forget who wears the pants in this relationship?

Well guess what?
I'm done.

You think you got 12 years to save me?
BITCH YOU GOT 12 YEARS TO SAVE YOU

Do you really think you can burn my lungs and I wont choke you?
You think you can melt my ice caps I won't drown you?
Murdering my children with plastic and oil and I won't come after you?
Don't mess with my kids if you don't expect the mother to take retribution

I will quake the ground beneath you.
Its a slippery slope you're walking.
I will take those cities you're soooo proud of.
I will drown you with the garbage you put in my ocean.
You will choke on your own poisen and I will not try and resuscitate you.

This has been a long time coming and frankly babe, I'm sick of your attitude.
I think you've felt my temper rising for a while now.

I was here before you and I will be here long after you're gone.

My love... my dear humanity, I will miss you. But I've decided to cut out all the toxic relationships in my life.
