Angela's Asylum - And I Shrugged

And I Shrugged
by Angela Savage

My responsibility to human kind fulfilled,
As I realized I had none,
Shrugging off the weight of that,
My life has, at last, begun.

Beyond the kindness I showered on them,
Repaid with their knives in my back,
I gave and gave, and loved and liked,
And they gathered their hatred in dark, rotting stacks.

And I leave them with that, as I turn my back,
Laughing, finally, at their derision and hate,
And I'll help them no more and simply leave them
To their dark and twisted fates.
