Teachings of so long ago
Implanted in my mind
Nurtured by the beliefs I kept
Stimulated over time.
An adults body I live in now
Still plagued with childhood judgements
Quiet desperation still remains
Manipulating the truth of my calling.
I live in shadow of my grievance
Confused and bewildered of Why?
I sigh...in the silence of my dilemma
I feel so alone and unsure.
Author notes
Just one of those moments when the past comes and bites you in the butt. And how it feels to be still ruled by other peoples judgements placed upon me as a child.

people suck... their judgements should mean diddly to anyone but themselves... if you give them the power over you then it gives them purpose... take that purpose from them!!
anyway, this was awesome... ignoring my comment above, i feel this was quite often (irony, no?)... wonderfully penned and thanks for sharing

There's always a quiet desperation in everyone at any time of one's life. Mostly, it is a result of the things we fear to challenge because we think it is right and wrong to doubt its trueness.
Nice and short
Well written
