escape

today i started the process of evicting myself out of the house ive lived in for the past nine years
nine years of oppression and ignorance
nine years of tears and hatred
a third degree felon only gets five years of imprisonment
i go through the cluttered drawers filled with shit that once was treasure
through a mountain of old used school supplies in the back of the closet behind the full hamper
youd think that id reminisce about the good times id had in high school
or at least how much i royally hated that institution and those in it
but no
my heart had been filled with hate for another reason
every bit of worthless fucking trash i threw away reminded me of who i was
reminded me that there was nothing worth saving from my past
but with that blistering hate began a vivid realization
with this cleansing i was properly starting over
rebirth through fire
