The Shadows dance

Shadows move as the wind blows,
they move with an eerie grace.
Dancing around my memories,
the memories that I fought to forget.

The shadows that protected me,
now exposes me.

The emotional agony that was barred,

is now resurrecting it's self.

 

A time of my life I could not change,

something totaly out of a childs controll.

People we trusted and close friends,

turned a blind eye.

 

Sit now alone in the dark,

watching the shadows.

Wishing to once again forget the pain of my past,

I close my eyes as the shadows dance.

 

Author notes

I fight a lot during the night with memories of my past. A past of abuse as a child and into my teens. Even tho I have moved on from the hurt and pain, I still hate to talk about it. I found this contest very challenging for me. I hope that those out there like my self, are able to over come that hurt and pain of their past.

    very well done. it must have been difficult for you to write....i know mine are. i am so glad you entered. Like your stanza says...it was out of our control...we should have been protected.

      It was very hard for me to write this... I was at a point of my life a wile back where I thought the pain would be gone for ever. They caught the 3 young men...(only boys themselves) hurt other young girls.....I never told anyone, for the reason that I thought, once they wern't hurting me anymore that I would be over it and ok... Look at me going on and on..
