A childhood of pain A time for tears No one kept out the rain No one took away the fears You said to trust you and never to tell And when it was through no one heard my silent yell Not knowing who to trust No one to listen The symbol of safety is dust and unshed tears glisten Why did it have to be me This no one knows I'll never be free and my self hatred grows. You killed my soul You stole my heart I'll never be whole terror and I will not part The childhood pain The adult age Driving me insane All locked within this cage. |

this one touches me...I understand your pain...sometimes we are the only ones who have the key to set ourselves free...give the pain back to them...it belongs to them. with our writing... comes healing... take care, janet marie ~Take These Tears~ Take these tears, I wont cry them anymore, They fall like wasted wine and scatter on the floor. Take this pain, its been here way too long, You use it to keep a hold on me-but I'm feeling suddenly strong. Take this shame-it always belonged to you, Keep it with the lies you told and the broken promises too. Take this rage...you deserve it most of all, If you think I'm gonna get over it-your headed for a fall. Take this silence, I know you've heard its sound before... Its the first thing you hear...after the slamming of the door. Janet Marie **previously posted in Dark Passions < !signature--> ...every moment of every day... your still with me in every way. every poem and song... every rhyme and verse... your still here...like a beautiful curse. janet marie [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 03-08-2000).] |

Janet Marie, Tears rolled down my face as I read your words, not for my own past but for yours, I'm truly sorry that you have lived this and am touched by your words of hope. Thank you. |

Once again your words have moved me, I can feel your pain flowing through. As Janet Marie says we posess the keys to set ourselves free, we just have to find them, I for one find that the writing helps..... |
