Purgatory

a poem by Eric Campbell

I've been waiting on apologies from people
Who
Will never find the error in their ways
So I've instead apologized to myself for allowing myself to be victim
When I know in my heart I'm victor
I've been protecting others instead of protecting you
Because I took my strength for granted and placed myself before the whip for others
I took the impact and when I finally looked up I realized the one I was protecting was the one holding the lash
The reason for these lesions
But lesson learned
