Despite Your Rain
Never will I fade in the shadow of your abyss
Your condemnation, badly amiss
I will always shimmer through your rain
All that I am and will ever be
Not for you to diminish so blatantly
Your ignorance magnifies my ability to shine
The memory of you shall be interred
Your imagined power, mistakenly inferred
My illuminated soul will always radiate
Your condemnation, badly amiss
I will always shimmer through your rain
All that I am and will ever be
Not for you to diminish so blatantly
Your ignorance magnifies my ability to shine
The memory of you shall be interred
Your imagined power, mistakenly inferred
My illuminated soul will always radiate

Dear Tim,
Thank you. I will not be diminished by a person that is toxic. Letting go of what is not meant for me. Bless

Dear M,
Now this is a poem I can stand beside in solidarity. It reminds me to not hand over the reigns of my control. I really appreciated the strength in this piece. Lovely write.

Thank you lovely H,
Removing toxic people from our lives is not always easy but we should never allow anyone to lesson our shine. Thank you for your comments and the RL is an honour. Bless.

Dear, Mel
This is a poignant declaration of independence. The passage that touched me most is: "Your imagined power, mistakenly inferred." To be kind, compassionate, and loving does not entail relinquishing our self esteem, personal power or free will. Brava❣
