The Bogey Mans Come Out to Play.

I've been feeling small today
the bogey man has come out to play.
He makes me afraid and I feel alone
and the memories I have chill me to the bone.

Everything reminds me of him
what he did, his terrable sin.
But I can't keep the memories out,
I need to cry, to scream, to shout.

Will I always feel this way?
Where I think about him everyday.
He invites himself in without a word
and pecks at my brain like a gigantic bird!

When the emotions finally get to much
I shut myself down to sound and touch.
I don't know how too control how I feel
when the soul of me that man did steal.

    wow, this is an awesome poem. so much sadness and depth written with great words and description. but... Ithink that the line 'pecks at my brain like a gigantic bird!' kinda ruins the whole poem and the sense and meaning behind it. none the less great write.
    thanks for entering and goodlcuk

    WOW ANOTHER POWERFUL POEM, DARK AS SEEMS TO FIT YOU REALLY WELL. AS A VICTIM OF ABUSE THAT IS SO TRUE YOU OFTEN FEEL AS THOUGH YOU WILL NEVER BE WHOLE AGAIN. YOU FEEL AS THOUGHT YOU WILL NEVER BE COMPLETE, BUT YOU WILL. I OFTEN WONDER IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABUSED WHAT TYPE OF PERSON WOULD I HAVE BECOME?

    Will I always feel this way?

    the best way to get rid of a fear is to face it, you are stronger than you think,dont let him win!
    when these feelings come speak out to them as though the one you fear is there with you ,face him and tell him you are taking back control of your own life and that he is nothing!

    Face him my friend, You can do it! Remember, he feeds off your fear. Give him no fear and he is nothing! The time will come when you can stand up to him more and more each day. You have the power to control the destiny of your soul. His posession is only temporary. Its YOUR soul!

      I know this is true. I know it is, but I guess its easier not to face it!! But I loved what you said... about it being my SOUL.. your right. It is. Food for thought my friend.

        Yes but the longer you avoid him, the longer he has power over you and you just may look back in regret upon wasted years letting the wrong person have your soul. IT'S YOUR SOUL and should only be shared with your soul mate. PERIOD! You are stronger than you think.
