I Understand
You have blocked out the cause,
and justified the effect.
I have carried this pain for my entire existence.
You’ve been allowed your delusion for longer,
I understand.
I see what you aren’t strong enough to face.
I see the whole story.
I understand.
I see what the truth has done.
I see the carnage wrought on the innocents.
I understand.
Unfortunately, the shattered pieces of my life,
won’t be enough to keep your world from shattering.
I know you are soon to face the day of reckoning.
I wish I could make it easier for you.
I wish I could stop your pain.
The pain I’ve carried was not of my making,
and it all but destroyed me.
I was innocent, I understand.
I am grateful to you though,
for what will shatter your world,
will finally free me from the pain in mine.
I understand maybe, just maybe,
Someday you will too.
