Not very long ago as far as I can remember I harbored a criminal, he was about 6ft tall, light skinned with black hair ,just like me ,he ate my food ,drank my water,slept on my bed,used my shower,sat on my couch...for all the moments he did this , I considered him a friend, a companion, a comrade...
But on my 18th birthday he took it all,spared me no grief, away with all the laughter we shared, away with all the moments we built & the memories we shared ,he shattered my existence in a single moment,my purity ,sanctity and sanity he violated and left me out, to hang and dry in a world that he now calls "mine" ,to build my own future and forget the past .
This criminal , is me(all grown up),he robbed me of me,my childhood and my happiness, tossed me into life and now I'm forced to live with what I have done.
Once upon a time, I harbored a criminal,
Days turned to weeks and weeks to months ,he slowly turned from foe to friend , I know I hated all he did ,I Know I hated him for what he stole from me ,I know I hated him for leaving me out to dry, but I also know it was all for my sake ,'cause I've learnt to love myself and not to go seeking for approval of love from others .
And now ,looking back at what I was ,who I am , who I have become ,where I'm from ,and where I am , I can now say that indeed ..
From foe to friend
From adversary to comrade
From antagonist to protagonist
From enemy to companion
From opponent to partner
...
Once upon a time I harbored a criminal....
