I won’t sing you praises

Or make mention of your name

I will not worship at your feet

Won’t make offerings on your altar

I will not feed the person you have become

I will ignore it

Deny your existence

Forget who you used to be 

This is my journey 

My road to explore

I do not need your say so 

Your approval 

Nor the mention of your name

In this way 

I will hold on to 

The very best part of you 

I will deny you 

And accept your hatred

Your harsh words

Full of all the things you couldn’t say
