Divestment

(c) 1996 Richard St. Clair



You are my last abuser.

I will never again put myself in the position
to be abused, controlled, exploited, and victimized.

I have the right to go anywhere and do anything
which the law and good judgment allow.

I have a free will, a conscience,
concern for others, and creative talents.

I no longer need, and never needed,
to sacrifice my good qualities
on the altar of your fanaticism.

You failed me miserably.
You violated me mercilessly.
You injured me ceaselessly.
Even in my periods of worst conflict,
you sought to enforce control over me.
But that is all over now.

You have no claim to honor in my eyes.
You are a scheming and manipulative person.

You are pathetic and horrible,
without humanity or understanding.

I am glad I have finally stopped denying this
and have come to my senses.

I want to live and be happy.
I believe my life is committed
and dedicated to these objectives.

Nothing will deter me.
I will accept no threats from you
which would deny my rights to pursue my own life.

I do not need you.
I never needed you.

You have no pcwer over me.
Our relationship is terminated forever.
