Did I Survive?

Missing image
You my dear mother...
stole my confidence
like a monster eating
my innocent dreams

I grew...I moved on
and took it with me

You my husband...
brused my body
and crushed my spirit
leaving an empty shell

I grew...I moved on
and took it with me

You my mirrored reflection...
years of pain you show
lines deepen with
bitterness and sadness

I can't run from you
you live in my soul

"Did I Survive?"

Author notes

Sometimes people tell you that you are strong cause you survived so much but to survive only means you lived!

    THIS IS UTTERLY OUTSTANDING, SERIOUSLY IT SAYS SUCH WONDERFUL THINGS, TUGS AT THE READERS EMOTIONS, YET IS NOT CLUTTERED BY MEANINGLES METAPHORS. ITS A RARE GIFT TO BE ABLE TO SAY A TREES A TREE, AND YET STILL BE POETIC BRAVO AND BRAVO AGAIN

      So sorry for your pain...I often think that all the things I survived weaken my spirit so much that all the fight has gone out of me but somehow we find it in ourselves to go on fighting! It seems like I'm always fighting to live and I wonder sometimes why? The pain of living is hell on earth for alot of us. I'm 48yrs old and I don't believe I've ever been "happy" everyone tells me I need to take meds. but I know why I'm this way and no magic pill will take that away!

      Peace to you
