I Divorce You Poem by DANIEL ESSIEN

I DIVORCE YOU

I've loved you long enough...
So long enough that I failed to remember how it began.
I loved you even when times were tough...
I loved you and it ended me in sorrow.
Sorrow so hard that I groan.
I groaned in failure and stagnation.
I loved you so much that I lost my destiny.
I loved you and this made me suffered.
I've held you so long,
I let go to be free.
To be free to listen to others.
To be free to loved others
And to care for others.
And to know that I am not above anyone.
I divorce to know God more
I let you go to see and know what others do.
I divorce myself from selfishness.
I divorce myself from self centeredness.
I divorce myself from egotism.
I divorce myself from ME, MYSELF AND I.
The part of human that only raise one up to him down.
Egotism is a tree that blossom without fruits.
I divorce self, pride and egotism.
