If I could turn back the hands of time. What kind of life would I find? As I go back over the years. I see there are many ghosts and fears. I see a baby girl with no worries. Across the floor she would scurry. I see a toddler hopping around. Full of life and fully abound. I see a small girl being hurt very young. What in the world could this person have done? I see a preteen with no emotion. Too afraid to give her devotion. I see a teenager being hurt again. Wondering when in the world this will end. I see a young woman believing in someone. Trying to erase all the emotions that the years have done. I see a woman hurting a man. Who only loves her, I don't understand. An almost middleaged woman full of fears. And all of the happenings over the years. It feels like it's all mixed up inside. Sometimes she's scared of what she'll find inside. But no matter what the years have brought. From child to woman this person has fought. For now it's time to stand my ground. And change the person I have found. For one day a beautiful woman will shine through. And will be happy, full of life, and ever so true. Peaches |

I believe good or bad we are all the results of our experiences, but we also have the ability to make choices, your words made me think (which I dont do very often). Thank you for sharing I enjoyed. Regards, Olias. |

Peaches, This poem says a lot of a woman who has endured much...but she is strong.. and she is learning to love herself..to forgive herself...for SHE did nothing wrong. She was just there....And she tried to trust... Keep going...you are doing just fine. |

Very well written. ~hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

Peaches, I don't know how long you've been writing, but never doubt in this poem, sweetheart, you have written your heart and sometimes a writer can't write squat if he/she denies the real emotion inside. I felt every word of this, it was as I wrote it myself. Thank you for sharing this with us. Kathleen |

Olias: I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you. Magnus: Thanks so much, I needed that little nudge today. Nancy: Thank you.I'm trying really hard. Kat: I started writing in high school and then didn't write anything for 10 years.I can't seem to write unless it comes from my heart that's why it's not always a happy write.Thank you for letting me share with all of you. I'm not quite sure why but reading all of your responses made me cry.I'll have to determine why?Thank you all so much, dear friends. Peaches |

This sounds like something from my own experiences in life. You sound as though you've come from a history of abuse. Yes---I have. And yes, we can, will, and do overcome and shine brighter than we ever thought possible. |

You do not need to search for such reason ... your struggle through life the tearing season just remember who you really are and shine the light of your burning star. Reach for those helping hands, time is the path, your heart would be the way. |
