Unshattered Me

Every everything

I loathe you now
Every second we shared
And everything your memory represents
But most importantly how

You made me question
Every facet of my being
And everything with you I felt
But most importantly the lesson

You brought into my life
Every moment of doubt
And everything about trust
But most importantly the knife

You used to stab me in the back
Every hate-filled accusation
And everything to disconnect
But most importantly what you lack

I tried to say goodbye with loving and humble words
Every mistake atone for
And everything show gratitude
But most importantly let my voice be heard

You sought to bring me down
Every fiber in me shatter
And everything we shared eradicate
But most importantly ensure that my innocence would drown

I refuse to let you break me
Every cynicism I now release
And everything you ever were
But most importantly any love in you that I believed

Author's Note

I'm not sure who this was written to or for, as upon reflection, it certainly applies to many. One thing is certain, I shall never again doubt my inner voice nor give away my power!

I refuse to let you break me
Every cynicism I now release.

Nicely done your job dear friend. I totally enjoyed it....

When trust is broken it leaves a huge scar and an puts instead the ability to ever trust anyone else. Nicely written the, cuts through like the hot knife.

I get this. The beauty of this piece is that it could be for a lover, a friend, a parent ... anyone who treats us this way. Wonderful.

Although I began writing this piece with a particular face in mind, I found myself releasing many feelings for others as well. I do believe what you picked up on is my favorite aspect of this piece. Thank you for your review!

This is pure. Directly from your soul's visage. Expressing emotions perfectly. I think as time progress your skills will evolve even further and you will mask your intent with the perfect sequence of words. Great read..

It's sad when people bring us down, or won't accept that it's over and they have to be so hurtful when it's time to leave.
Great poem Phoenix.
