"Hatred, Or Pity?"

“Hatred, or Pity?”

I love her so dearly
for all she has been through
for the battles she has fought
for the life she has survived
Yes, for all this,
my emotions weep of
Love,
Pity,
Anger

I yearn to right everything forsaken her
to punish those who have wronged her
but for all the suffering the has been dealt,
Should I ignore what is my own?
For, unbeknownst to her consciousness,
I am hurt... abused,
punished without physical violence

She unleashes her pent-up emotions unto me,
the only way she can remain sane
She is both protective and neglecting,
a loving mother, and the warden to my inner Hell

Should I remain loyal and true,
be forgiving and empathetic,
understanding of her reasons?
Or should I give in to my resentment,
flying away at first chance?

This raging war,
inside my head,
as the blood trickles down the blade
that seemed to suddenly appear in my hand
-My own release
