If I had been born with any strength, maybe then I could bear this weight. If I had been blessed with a warrior's courage, I could have possibly stopped this. If I had been shown where this would lead, I would have left it behind me. If I had understood what keeping silent would do, I would have screamed so much louder. If I had thought to sever these chains sooner, you would not be keeping me in them now. Yet, I was made weak and this cross is too heavy to bear. I have been damned, and I can not withstand this. I am blinded by what I have been made to see and lost to the darkness of it. I have been silenced, I dare not speak, not on this. I am binded by the hurt that ties me to life, and I know that it will soon end me. |

Only you can drop that cross, or break those chains. Self-inflicted punishment is not Love's best pathway. Set yourself free. But then again, this may just be poetry? A good write. |

Thanks for the post, and the words of advice. If only it were just poetry. It's what I carry with me and try to get out...poetry seems to be a safe outlet. -Shade |

welcome from here too - an interesting exploration. sad to be true, but recognizing something is the first step toward addressing it - perhaps you can build strength through poetry... i've seen that happen here many times. peace, Chris |

Shade, since my computer was down for a couple of days, I didn't see you here when you first came. I'd like to welcome you here. I truly hope that you will continue to write your feelings in poetry. It really is a good outlet for your feelings...whatever they are. I hope someone here can help you. Thanks for sharing your heart. "Love makes the world go around" |

Christopher and garysgirl Thank you both for the welcome. My poetry certainly is "amatureish" at best, but I really appreciate you encouraging me to use it here. Thanks again, Shade |
