I survived
Not many do, but I did
It was a long road out, and a longer one within
It was dark inside with no way out, people who say just
leave, have never been there
leave, have never been there
Well I’ve been there, and I know you just can’t leave
They hold you there, with their claws of words
Their words of insecurities, words of hate, words of
despair
despair
They take away your friends, your family, your confidence,
yourself worth
yourself worth
You become nothing, they control you, you are nothing
Your children learn from what they see
Do you do them any good to stay?
Or do you just continue the cycle, for another set of
words
words
These words, so wise, so true, you cannot avoid their pain striking reality. But we know Carmen, that at the same time - this lifetime - there are also words of trust, safety, admiration, friendship, hope and especially LOVE. And I know that this person, this poet, YOU, that has written this poem, is THE BEAUTIFUL ONE, the one to be loved.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments, we all have our demons that we have written from. We all have our good days and bad, it's how we come out at the end and continue on through it all. I understand from the little I read so far that you have gone through a lot and understand. I appreciate your time you have taken to read my poems. Thank you.
