Free To Be Me Mood
Sunday, November 30, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

 

 

Okay everyone here is another poem by me!

Lemme know what you all think please!

 

You told me to trust you

Yet you never gave me a reason to

You said this would be our secret

This was not my secret to keep

You told me you loved me

I learned to believe this to be true

But now I have begun this journey

Called healing and am learning

What you said was love was not

The lies you told just to get your way

Forced me to put up walls

Which have taken years to break down

When these walls come tumbling down

I will truly be free to be ME!

    Wow! "you told me to trust you, yet you never gave me a reason to" How very true! I am also waiting for the walls I built to come "tumbling down". What a lovely image! You are using a big sledgehammer and keep slinging at that wall, that is the picture I get in my mind! I can envision you stepping out over the crumbled walls with a step of strength and power, and a look of pride and accomplishment and joy on your face.....
    I love it!

    Although my experiences were not nearly as traumatic as yours, between age 11 and 15 a pedophile made me believe he "loved" me. I saw it as romance and desirable attention. When I got old enough to realize it was selfish sickness on his part, my self-esteem really suffered. One episode on SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT dealt with a 12 year old boy who was molested and manipulated by an older woman. In the end, he sobbed I THOUGHT SHE LOVED ME.

    This poem could fit many situations in many mistreated individual's lives, for it is true, how can one trust, if one is not given a reason to? Trust is a learned and earned attribute, and an almost impossible one to learn if one is not around those who are trustworthy enough to earn it.
