I just thought there would be many of you who would enjoy this poem I found in Anita Liberty's Book, "How to Heal the Hurt by Hating." It's a great book, an irreverent account of her being dumped by her boyfriend for another woman. The book is sharp and I got some good laughs out of it. This poem is how she ends the book. I felt so good after reading it I thought of all you out there who may feel the same and wanted to share it.

 

I'm going to hold it up as my role model!

 

Enjoy!!

"Alone at the Top"

 

I'm rich and famous.

I want for nothing,

because I have it all.

 

Jealous?

You should be.

That's why I am where I am.

To make you feel bad about yourself

and how little you've accomplished.

To make you realize the fact that you haven't

realized your potential.

 

I have a cool life now.

Eveything is within reach

and someone else reaches for it and hands it to me

so I don't have to strain myself.

I live this life to spite you, despite you,

in spite of you.

And now you're just a face in the crowd of upturned

faces pointed in my direction.

Because you see me now and know that you f*beep*ed up.

How does that feel?

That was my goal.

To make you regret your decision to leave.

 

You are not forgiven.

You are not forgotten.

You are not for me.

See ya. Wouldn't want to be ya.
