Until the day

Through my childhood
you've caused me
nothing but tears and pain

took advantage of the fact
that I didn't know any better
took advantage of the fact
that I was weak

you turned me into a monster
into someone who hated life
someone who hated to laugh
someone who hated you!

There wasn't a day that went by
that I didn't think of you
that I didn't break down and cry
that I didn't hurt myself
because the pain was so much better

I prayed quietly every night
that I wouldn't wake up again
that the pain would finally end

I was in a dark tunnel
with no way out
with no end in sight

until the day....
I said this is enough

until the day....
I fought myself

until the day....
I forgave you

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
