My Faith Poem by Saiyuri Oliver

Don't cry for me
Don't pity me
I'm strong
Holding on to the bits of my dignity
Wrapping myself in self pity
I don't need anyone's help in feeling sorry
Let me end it, I would cry
Let me jump off a bridge
or get hit by a train
or cut my veins
Stop!
Anger and pity shall never control me
They're weak against my will and forbearance
They serve no greater power or cause
I'm tired of feeling humiliated
Worthless
Trash
Because I know that I'm a good woman
I know that I'm not tainted by evil or malicious thoughts
I only seek justice
I only want what's fair
Let my truth ring
And let those who've done me harm
Who have committed some injustice to my family or my person
Let THAT person pay with their guilt
Let THAT person face God's wrath
Let THAT person deal with their conscience
And even though nothing may happen
Although no physical recourse has been taken
Karma's a bitch
I trust in my God, Juses, and my Saint Mary
They'll take care of everything
I leave it in Their potent hands to do as They see fit
Let no one else take up a sword for me
Let no one else try and protect me
For if something happens
There will always be a reason
Let the experiences unfold
It's the only way you'll learn...
