It Took Me A While

I stirred and urged
Without any plan
Emotions to free
My writing began

A self esteem zero
My confidence nil
Emotions to free
I had pages to fill

Having to conquer
My unworthy fear
Emotions to free
Written with a tear

It was never easy
Words to convert
Emotions to free
When feeling hurt

It was a challenge
Removing doubt
Emotions to free
Poems tumble out

In strength to gain
Feeling stronger
Emotions to free
Confined no longer

Many poems later
Now I can smile
Emotions to free
It took me a while

Hope, It may have taken you awhile...but look at the results!! Very well done, and I know how it feels to have all of these thoughts bottled up inside and here I sit without anything to help pop the cork!! hugs, Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Hope, you have expressed yourself well.  Your
emotions are certainly free,  now you can
write.  And you have done well.

I love those free emotions. Yes!
As MLK said in a different context, "Free at last, thank God, I'm free at last!"

Well, no matter how long it took you I am sure impressed with the finished product. If writing your wonderful poetry has made you this amazing woman I know you to be than keep writing girl.....you are magnificent.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
