Staring at you, I don't know why I let you hurt me and make me cry You take my heart and render it stone You make me wish I was all alone You grab my soul and leave me numb You make me weak and I succumb You invade my mind and steal my dreams You drive me to the edge, can't you hear my screams? You leave me feeling as if I should hide You drag me down,you fracture my pride Now I have learned myself to embrace way down inside, a secret place I found myself after all these years You can no longer hurt me, you won't see my tears I know my strength, I can take a stance I can spread my wings, I can learn to dance Now that you are no longer with me Watch my spirit soar, my heart is free I wrote this for a friend who finally broke out of a bad relationship.Sadly she went back to that relationship at a much later date. |

What a shame that she went back to that abusive, poisonous relationship. Sometimes people just can't see the forest for the trees! You did a fine job with this write. There many women who would benefit from reading it. It's a shame that your friend chose to stay in the cage rather than fly off free into a clear blue sky. You are a very compassionate ~ and wise! ~ poetess!  EA |

You are writing of addiction - she is not ready to break the addiction yet. Hopefully, she will get there soon. She's lucky to have you as her friend. Alison |

I know my strength, I can take a stance I can spread my wings, I can learn to dance So well said! Yes it is a mystery why we remain in such negative relationships ... sad, that your friend fell again into that trap. This is a very thoughtful, powerful write. It should hang in those centers for the assistance of abused women! It would help other victims to react! Love, Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Thank you everyone. Never thought about hanging it in an abuse shelter. We have one here. My husband and I have taken food and household items over there many of times. I may just do that. Thanks. aka Carmen |
