Unearthed

I carried the weight of your pain for far too long

Pregnant with the disease of your abuse

Nearly buried full of the dirt you left behind

But fool that you are

And the many times you underestimated me

Only made me that much stronger, smarter

And best of all spiritually powerful

And when Lady Karma came knocking on your door

You became an even bigger fool

How easy it was to lock you up and throw away the key

Your arrogance your only friend and enemy

And on that beautiful day

When the Universe bestowed upon me

the knowledge of your wretched, nay -

your rightful state,

I knew I was finally free.

I laughed so much, my stomach ached and my face was awash with tears of joy, of gratitude and cheer… and the Universe laughed too.
