Hello, My Poetry and Writing Friends! πŸ–€


I hope you are well! Thank you for visiting my poetry blog. I appreciate you being here!
.

As I continue to weed these things out of my soul, many emotions flood a place I forgot was there. These feelings and memories will eventually help me heal, but it hurts to experience them again.
.
I need to go back in time and give myself the love I didn’t feel. I can look back and know that God was watching out for me. I have remained living, in part, so I could see the end of my sorrows. I have much more hope for the future as I break away from my past.

A Daily Loss of Self


walking on my toes, trying to quietly exist
not wanting to step on broken glass
you are so unpredictable and cannot hear me
I have to learn to look after myself
hiding under covers throughout the night
not wanting to greet another day
wanting to run to a place that is safe
knowing the shadows will always follow me
I will learn to accept my current state of hell
endure the years of being imprisoned in this cell
knowing that when I get the chance to escape
I won’t look back and will try

to erase you from my shattered heart
for no matter how high your cruelty climbs
my yearning for love clings to you like glue
I wonder if I have a chance for peace
will these thoughts and nightmares always follow me?
