i will
no longer
trail beneath
the shadow,
the shroud
of guilt
others
have thrown
over my
head;
i refuse
to listen
to their
slander,
their verbal
poisons.
i will
be like
ice
with them;
i will
be
unrelenting,
unforgiving,
avenging:
i will
reclaim
with impunity
what is
rightfully
mine.
why?
need you
ask!
my veins
are
aflame
once more
with
passion;
i am
filled
with
ardor,
determination;
inflamed by
the purity,
the honesty,
