I’ve never been able to write about
the back of the dark garage;
where innocence free was stolen from me.
How I wish it had been a mirage.

I’ve never been able to live again
with a feeling of worth inside.
It’s been thirty-one years since I shed those tears;
while a tender part of me died.




 A violet hollow beneath the willow weeps its fragrance still ...

This poem touched me.  I read it a few times and wish it had been longer.  Seems like you probably have more you could say.

Maybe your innocence was taken, but I hope your poetry helps you see your worth!

WinterInBlue~
Now that you've written about it ..
perhaps you can get past it.
You have worth, hon.  Trust me ..
you have great worth.

Winter is over ...
Spring forth with blossoms of new.
*HUGS* to you.

It's a good work... but it sure does leave me wordless. Hope time has worked a few miracles for you.

Short sweet, and to the point!
NO ONE can take your worth away NO ONE.

You are you, and each experience we deal
with in life ----makes us stronger and
wiser BUT never worthless!

I once wrote a poem so short which is
amazing for wordy me ---

"Sometimes I feel like a boxspring mattress."

Thanks for sharing this very well done poem.
If it is about you, brush yourself off,
and move on.
If it was written for a friend - reach out
and lend a hand.  If it was written from
imagination --------message well received.

Many people here know the pain of which you speak. If this is about you, know you are not alone. Writing helps release the denons of our past. Believe me I know.

All my love,
Jeffrey

Very moving piece you've written. I hope you never forget that your life does count for something, that it has much value and purpose! Wishing you much inner peace and happiness

Grabbed my heart. Very touching, yet disturbing. ACT.
