I've been a constant victim of so many forms of abuse from a real early age..I know everyone can relate to this..and I'm not saying I'm the only one out there..so right now I've said I'm done I'm through with it..I refuse to be taken for granted..and once you hurt me you might as well consider packing your bags and leaving and don't ever look back..


How do I release the pain I feel tonight
How do I let the love I feel from him shine through
It all seems impossible through all of these tears
They've been building up inside the chambers of my heart
Unsure on how they were going to part
So now I'm finally forced to be face to face
With all the feelings of disappointment and rage
That would surely make me fall from grace
Or perhaps in God's eyes seem as a disgrace
Why can't I just ignore them
And pretend that I was never abused
Or constantly taken over and used
It's something I never asked for
Yet unexpectedly it comes knocking at my heart's door
And on nights just like this
Those feelings are more potent than any poisonous kiss
And each time I move on
Someone wrong enters my life with no invitation nor warning
And leaves their knife embedded deep within my soul
Until I can gather up all of my strength to let them go..



"Let me be the one you call, if you jump I'll break your fall, lift you up and fly away with you into the night"

Abuse is horrible, I know.  But please don't put such a strong wall around your heart that no one can reach you.  That is harder to get over than the pain from the abuse.

wow. im sorry about what you've been through but despite what this is about, its a good poem.

Don't wander throught this glassy surface, expecting to find more than me, because what I am without a purpose, but a lone mirage to see.

This is so full of emotion.  The feeling behind it is strong, I like how it's written.  Sorry you've been put through this in your life.

My heart goes out to you Ceinwyn. You've expressed so many deep emotions throughout. I do hope you will be able to find the kind of peace and compassion that each and every one of us deserves.

If you find yourself in a relationship that's heading that direction, get out quickly and don't look back. You've got a positive and strong attitude now that sounds like you'll be watching to ensure you stear away from this, and that's a wonderful thing.

Should you ever need anyone to talk to, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.

Best wishes,
/Kit
