Dreams held
Years ago
A voice I thought
I got to know
In the middle
Of my desperate plea
I beg someone
To search for me
An answer to my prayer
At last
A face not hidden
Behind a mask
Searching all my life
For right
Someone to hold me
Close and tight
But I can't beg
Or choose your choice
My vacant eyes
My silent voice
Instead I'll live
My dreams to die
Each day the proof
No lullaby
Empty emotional
Unfeeling creature
With tainted flaws
No perfect picture
In a list

Girl I am so glad you decided to be a survivor and start posting your work here. If this is the usual standard of your work then I cant wait to read some more. A belated welcome to the world of AP. I wish you all the luck in the world for the future. A lot of us here have been sufferers of abuse and depression but we all try to help each other. This is a wonderful, thought provoking piece you have here. Congratulations. Love Claire -
Wosh.
