I know you think I'm beaten,
crushed and defeated.
You've left me many times,
on some forsaken mountain,
but man, I am headed out
for that healing fountain.
No longer will I be
your little ragged doll,
You've forgotten that this heart
is made of solid gold.
My strength may waver now and then,
but Papa - know - I'm gonna win.
This woman has grown strong.
The love you've never given,
won't hold me back no more.
I know my soul's true worth
is more than what you've stated,
and though I know it, you won't believe it;
I am loved.
And, that's all I ever needed....

Oh my, this is marvelous. Debby you nearly have me in tears, for I feel tied to this. We can't always get who we want to love us but we must be strong with what we have. This is great.

The comment suggestion was for my first impression. I felt that I was walking into a written version of my own life. Not so much Papa...but, yeah, he was there, too. Just how easy it is for little girls and women to become victims through their tender hearts, gentle souls, and powerful spirits...and our loyalties. One of the most powerful poems I've ever read. I've come back to edit...It shows that I've given you three stars, and I don't know how that happened. I've tried to undo it and give 5 stars, I don't know how. So here are your five stars anyway ***** -

What a strong write. Very nice tribute to Ana. My father was abusive to me. Disowned me when I was 12 i think. Great write and good luck in the contest.
