You're No Longer Needed

I hope you enjoy.

“A storm is coming.”

My heart declares to my mind,

As the

wind picks up

and the sky grow grey.

No one seems to notice,

To focused on their own views.

Views that are mostly corrupted by selfishness and greed.

 

The words bleed from my inner core,

On to this page

Leaving evidence of my existence.

 The only evidence that will be found.

For my profound metaphors,

and manipulation of phrases

Will shock and amaze

even me.

 

My rebirth is going to be so original.

It’ll beat the 1 with the virgin in a strange land.

I am far from inferior.

More like directly related to the kings of all.

Body, Mind, and Soul

Who only align when I write.

Different patterns,

Different subject,

Same purpose.

Release

 

To be refreshed by the spring of uncertainty.

To create a masterpiece

By

letting my pen fall upright 

It’s ink screaming so loud against the blank page with blue and red lines.

 

A storm is brewing.
Never will the land be the same.

Its fertility will be questioned.

The lively hood of the harvest shown pity.

“If only for one night”

Luther Vandross once sang.

A song and quote well known by those who know.

I wish the same as he;

I want peace and serenity for a night.

If that’s all I’d be given;

I’d take it.

 

Just to sing

“Finally, it’s happened to me”

I’m not trying to make a playlist.

I just want to make it clear

That

 when the storm is over,

Clarity will be my sunshine

And you will know for sure

 That

 the fool has gained sense.

Causing your presence proves to be void of necessity.

I enjoyed reading this piece, the imagery used was captivating. A line stood out to be because it is strong and relatable. "I am far from inferior" I can relate to feeling inferior and then realizing that other people's lies and nastiness left too much of a mark on my soul, which is part of their disease not mine. You are far from inferior, S. Overstreet. I also like the last line a lot, strong and bold. It takes a lot to get to that point, where someone who was supposed to mean so much, but hurt you, is no longer needed, nor wanted. A very good write :)

Thank you very much. I appreciate the compliment. It take a while, but once you allow yourself to be free from other people's view of you and develop and accept your own, your standards and self worth has to increase.
