"Right to Anger"

 

Bad news...

A lot can change in a year...

Good news...

A lot can also change in a year...

Making this statement not one of boldness

But one of a matter-of-fact...

We have the right as human beings to see our emotions through...

We are allowed the right to anger...

Especially when the justification of cause is truth

Sort through the distortions of those who fail to see...

Line by line we need to dig through the stories told

Some shy away from the bright light

Just so they can keep the onlookers in the deep dark

Because their motive is to never put effort forth to clear another's name

They are too eager to claim righteousness and being falsely accused

By continuously ignoring their ownership of the fiction repeatedly told

That they flip the script of history already written...

Perpetrator becomes victim

And victim is shamed for standing up for the protection of their being

This is why you will never get the truth of word or action from a narcissist...

The closest you will ever come is yet another story told

One that makes them the forever misunderstood, by fault of those who they have broken

Which causes even more anger to breed in the open wounds

Casting bitterness beyond our sight

And just when you think there could be nothing more...

Those who attempt to balance the scales between the bad and innocent

Blur the lines drawn...

Silencing the hope placed in the comforting embrace sought out

Giving the benefit of the doubt to those who have harmed you is the worst type of betrayal

Mercy for the guilty is only ever cruelty for the innocent...

Because there is no other pain known when you watch those who have trespassed against you

Receive support from those who once held your confidence.
