Cousins
We were children that played, laughed, and cried together
ages that range different by years to decades
we all chattered or complained about each other
family gatherings brought us back together; fun continued
growing up throughout the years with some same struggles
knowing what was taking place on a constant basis
some grew up not knowing what others had experience
secrets were kept, as most quietly wept for protection..
a gentle soul I was, who had to stay in a protective mode
spiritually seeing what was being hidden from the others
I told whomever would listen, but it all fell onto deaf ears
adults labeled me as a mean rat; kids mocked me as a tattler
being outcast, so no one would believe the truth of things
some of the adult family members coerced the children
teenage through young adult years the set ups and traps continued
plots and plans to destroy who was named an family enemy...
knowing their pain allowed them to continue the darkness
witchcraft was always used then and preferably used now
they vowed in secrecy to continue the dark family agenda
here we are 40 plus years, same agenda different generations
destroying their lives trying to take me out for money and clout
having no decency for the future generations coming behind them
cursing their children and grand children to carry their pain
revealing their true selves to everyone who thought they knew them...
murder for hire, insurance fraud, and identity theft that's not all
bloodlines of greed, jealousy, envy, hate and incestuous lust
finding myself still fighting for my life, character, and truth
turned my friends, relationships, jobs, landlords against me
stole my mail, plots to have me institutionalized or jailed
conjured hate in every neighborhood I resided or visited
used social media to spread their lies to hide their involvement
they forgot there is a higher power that sees and plans the trap for them...
I pray you all get help for your pain; take accountability for your part
you all may have been able to deceive to destroy me and others
make sure you remember all of whom you hurt as you slide back down
the saga of lies, manipulation, deception, theft and hate is exposed
seeing and acknowledging my truth now, you know its over
staying true with dignity and integrity in my truth is the proof
revenge is seen at its best with a forgiving heart and healing glow...
