Resistance Poem by Rebecca Dalmaso

All that you consume to sedate your pain
You deny ownership and focus on blame
Your dissapointment you feel is an injustice to you
Does that mean your joy is unjustified too?
Stand in your truth and deny your pain power
Or your sorrow will grow with each passing hour
Your pain belongs to you, own it alone
You can't pass it on it will follow you home
If you continue to scream about who is at fault
Your heart will remain locked in a vault
If from all of your pain you truly wish to be free
Take a look in the mirror and choose what to see
Make the choice to neglect your desire for a different past
It is all up to you your pain can wither or last.
