This is me
This is what I am
I’m tormented, a tortured soul
Scared shitless of any man
Hurt when a child
Never to be the same
I’m still having to rebuild
I at least know I wasn’t to blame
But it still effect’s me now
Makes me what I am today
Hurting and to a certain extent hating men
Knowing that it is them that are to pay
To some people it may seem silly
But it is the way that I must live
Never totally being what they think I am
Never willing to totally give
Locked away in a box
Never to see the light again
Steel chains shackled tight
Showing my true self I will refrain
When I take that first, simple glance
I easily strip them down to their souls
They wouldn’t even try me
If they knew of my goals
So I wonder dear contest holder
If this is what you meant and what you desired
Because now I have entered
My poetry is totally fired
A contest entry

Deeply Emotional and stunning writing
I was actually seeing someone just like the person in this piece. She was terrified of men because her previous boyfriend had battered her. We stayed together for 8 months, back in 1997. She went back to him. I really felt for the character in this piece. Raw emotions that pour out so much. There is hatred there toward men [ which is not surprising seeing as it was a man who did so much hurt. ]
It is a wondrous piece of writing, maybe going a little way toward therepy. Beautiful and dark as well. I can also feel fear in this piece. Keep writing. For only through writing, will your pain eventually subside.
