Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
I journel through my poetry alot and wanted to share. This is not a "happy" poem but life is not always happy or fair. We go through dark and light times, times we feel weak or strong, and times when we wonder will we make it? This poem expresses that and I am sharing as I want everyone to know, this is an older poem and I am healing. Maybe not as quick as I would like but I am irregardless. So keep the faith and get the feelings out if that is what you need to do. It helps me anyway.
Again, before you read, this is just a poem and if your triggered easily please pass it by. I am sharing to help, not hurt. Have a good day and love and light...
" I have to leave, you know I cannot stay
from my past I need to get far away..
I am resigned and have no doubt
Sometimes the only way is out."
Plagued by memories of my bitter past
it seems my nightmares are bound to last
All I want is to be at peace..
for this relentless pain to cease.
You and I really never had a chance
for I alone with the devil dance
I know you tried more than anyone should
and I failed like I knew I would.
I've been worthless since the age of eight
I can't get past my shame and hate
I did not choose this haunted life
and tried to escape with the sting of the knife.
I cannot change what has been
All I want is to feel whole again
I look in the mirror and hate what I see
Damaged goods look back at me.
I see embarrasment in my families eyes
They pretend to care but I see through thier lies
It would not matter if I were even here
so many times I've wanted to disappear.
I have learned men bring me only pain
I have learned to love is all in vain
I have learned I will always be alone
and never have a place called home.
So to my true friends I must say goodbye
my heart is heavy but I dare not cry
to be strong is all that I have left
to tread this road without regret

Also to show that even at my darkest moments, I pulled through.
I feel all of us have talent, it is just finding it and feeling strong enough to show it. When your abused most of your life, it is like your light at times is snuffed out and your not allowed to shine. It is my wish that everyone is able to let thier light shine.
At least the ones I have had in my life, it feels that way.
