View Full Version : With my eyes closed...

I can only bear so much weight before my bones do crack and my blood does pour out,

from this body, to the ground

The shoulders that carried my burden have become a pillow to that which I cannot mourn, but feel I owe an apology for

for nothing that I did, for something that I felt

My eyes will never be able to find that hatred that I have seen again, and I fear they won't find that beauty that I long for

taken from me, thrown to me

To feel so heavy with guilt, a burden I don't want, but carry for life

a gift, i cannot turn away from a gift

To feel ashamed of myself and what I want, and what I so truly deserve for myself, but will not search for

To feel like every day is a battle that I can win, but won't wake up to fight

To feel like every thought I have is wrong and stand so tall in my convictions that I would never back down

if I were alone

To keep telling that little girl that everything is like the movies and one day prince charming will be here

and feel so guilty for lying to her

To feel like my burden is mine, and no one has ever known this pain

yet I know, my sisters have felt this
my friends have felt this
and I have dealt this to ones I love

To feel like these tears may never dry
To feel like these wounds will never heal
To feel like he was right
and I lost
and I won't find
and I had it so good


Deep inside me, that little girl is screaming at me that he's wrong...and she knows it

but on the outside...this grown up little girl just wants to nap...to pretend this never happenned.

She wants to be that little girl again

Oh SOUL, SWEETIE!

I don't know whether to treat this as a poem, and say "This expresses the frustrations of abuse, so very eloquently!"

Or, to say;

"Babygirl, come here and get a hug. Are you alright?"

All My Love,
MOM-olly
