my stories were kept to myself
to not deface the ones who hurt me
through their own innocence of the unknowing.

so I stayed quiet walked past them
cold,hot with anger and bitter in nature
I endured their pain
swam in their pity
and drowned in their insecurities

so I stay quiet while they walk past me like a ghost
cold as ice, bitter and sour
but in all this I try and smile

i forgive and forget
but remember what I said and realise
that within you take accountability of what was done

i am no angel in hiding
i am real,human, part of a superior species
who played a role in every story foretold
so forgive and forget
let go of the rage
or you'll die in regret

PRO TIP:there are two sides to a story and only one truth.
