Hello, My Poetry and Writing Friends! 🖤
I hope you are well! Thank you for visiting my poetry blog. I appreciate you being here!
When I look back on the last ten years, it feels like such a struggle. Our family has persevered, despite all opposition. When the past comes to slap me with nightmares and memories, I would rather open up my eyes to the future. I have realized that the future will have little to do with my past.
I still get sad about some relationships I have lost along the way, but just like Dr. Phil likes to say, we teach people how to treat us. I am showing the ones who hurt me over and over that I will not engage with them anymore.
I won’t get into petty fights or lash out if I can help it. It’s best to stay away if so much is at stake. It’s not worth the damage it could do to my mental health. They say that isolation kills; it’s the opposite for me! I have my kids, my one and only someone, and my mini zoo.
It All Led To You
I used to grovel and beg for them to love me
offering to crawl like a dog on my knees
forgetting about myself as I thought of them
anything to try and make them happy
.
years of trying wore through to my psyche
not ever knowing how to please them successfully
I even blamed myself for some of their wrongs
just trying to make some kind of civil peace
.
they teamed up in numbers against me
none of them had any mercy upon me
it didn’t matter how much I begged
they all together had it in for me
.
I left with little of what was dear to me
suffered a family tragedy
feeling so defeated, lost, and abandoned
searching for some kind of normalcy
.
I made it without them being here for me
having another’s hand holding onto me
it was scary and uncertain and full of disaster
but we climbed up together, and we broke free
.
hands off of my eyes and now seeing things clearly
as my shoulders slouch- I don’t care if anyone sees
pressing on the keys with all of my focus and passion
soothing myself with sweet melodies
.
~I can release all emotions you ask of me
we’ll swing together amidst windy trees
no one can separate our connection now
as we relish in the songs of the wind and the sea~
