you were probably well aware

Linds M. Crate

i am stronger now
than i was then
went through some things
made some choices
some good, some bad;
but i’ve been shaped into
a new being
now my flames would burn
so bright you probably couldn’t stand
next to me because i could
blind the rising sun
in the east—
all my life i’ve been told to be careful,
but i didn’t think at twelve years old
i would have to face someone like you;
true you were a kid, too,
but that smug smirk told me that you
never grew up
to make something of yourself
just decided being a monster was too appealing
i guess—
should’ve walked right past me
without your snarky comment because
i didn’t need that
sad thing is that you were probably well aware
of that fact.
