The One I Will Become

I will not become
Him
The man rotting in his cell
For the heinous crimes he committed
I will not spew my shit
On some innocent child
I will fight this lust
In any way I can

I will become
The woman
Who holds others high
With her pain and her story
I will become
The woman
That ends this chain
Of crippling pain
I will become
The exact opposite
of Him

I'll mend other's wounds
With my own
The memories that pain me
Will be the antidote
To their poison

That
Is the one I will become.
