My eyes are darkened
You wonder why I do not smile
Tattered wings flutter at my back
You ask me why I fell. Why don’t I fly?
Away from all this abuse, save myself
Why do I stay and look on
Why do I hold out my hand to the abused?
The ones left bleeding and broken
In a society, a place that doesn’t care
So why do I? Why do I care?
My eyes will unto you
Into your soul...
And you will see why I stay
I am the one who heals
The one who shudders and cries
But I am always the fighter,
I will here your horror stories
And I will hold you
Forever in my loving arms
Those covered in scars
Invisible and visible
Emotional and physical
I will stand by your side
Through your pain I will stand with you
It’s who I am...
That’s why I stay

Any write that focuses on loves which accepts and holds a person is sure to move me. These are beautiful words.

Very nice. Yes, those of us who have been through this, can help others who are going through the same. I love the images that you portray here. Lots of pain and emotion therein. This is a winner. I can so relate. It isn't easy to escape the clutches of being abused, especially when this began at such a young age - it creates a pattern that is difficult to break; not short of a miracle to overcome. It always leaves its mark though; and one is always reminded that things will always be somehow different for them. Yet, once in a while, we manage to see the hidden blessings through it - that through it all the Divine loves us in a special way, for we are Children of the Divine, and nothing can ever take that away from us. Love you!
