don’t allow your past to have power over you,
haunt your future,
or silence your voice,
instead,
extricate past abusers by throwing their negative words and actions into a heap
sending it out with the rubbish
and allowing the vultures to determine their fate
with the rubbish gone
plant some flowers in its place

It’s hard at times. It haunts.

This poem is powerful. I love the vivid imagery. I especially liked:
by throwing their negative words and actions into a heap
sending it out with the rubbish
and allowing the vultures to determine their fate
I can almost see the vultures destroying the negative words and actions.

Good post Wendi, Memories come back to haunt us over and over at times we have to let go of them. Face them and accept what happened on both sides. Have to move on.

This post is amazing. Thanks for sharing it. Sometimes it is very difficult to let go of the past. It is easier said than done for a lot of people including me. A lot of us as humans tend to live in the past and never move on. But I see where you’re coming from. Very nice words.
