I see you, but do you see me
Tell me why, can't it be
My heart to you I have sent
Only to have it broken and bent
I was a woman once full of life
Until you jabbed me with the knife
You dug it deep as you could go
Your love for me you never showed

When I was up you knocked me down
Flat on my face, straight to the ground
You thought you had put me in my place
As I could see the smirk on your face
But while I was being pushed down
There came some revelations I have found
My heart you thought you had turned cold
But I'll tell you this and I'll be quite bold

Your love's not worth what I have to give
For you alone I would never live
I pull that knife straight out of my heart
And with these words, we shall ever impart
Here's the knife you gave to me
Where's the smile I used to see
Now it's time for you to know
I have many more places to go

For you see, I have lots of friends
Who love me for who I am until the end
No more of your abuse will I take
A new life for myself I'll make
For somewhere there's a man for me
Who see's the true beauty of what I can be
So close your eyes and hold your breath
And when they open I'll have left

With a smile  wrapped upon my face
With all my love, beauty, and grace
For now I have set myself free
From all of your wicked misery
You're heart's the one that has turned cold
And will remain until you're old
But my heart is so full of life
And one day I'll make a wonderful wife

So don't touch me even once more
Or you'll find yourself upon that floor
I am woman, make no mistake
And I choose who of my heart partakes

Angel, this is a beautiful and positive write.
You are woman and you are strong!!

It's nice to come out the other side. Sure bruised at heart, but still able to rise from the rubble of anothers obvious inward battle with themselves. Those of us in their proximity, no matter how well meaning are brusised by their inner hurt, and pain. GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!! BRAVO!!! for coming out the other side with a fighting spirit...you are, after all a good, and worthy cause to fight for!!!

Marge:Thank you.With each day I realize it's worth every fight and struggle to let the light back in.

Ethel:Thank you very much.It took me awhile to realize that,but now I would give my dreams up for noone or nothing.

SharaRose: Thanks very much.I know that I am and every being on this earth is.I wish that each one of us could see that.I'm a tender heart and a gentle soul, but I now realize each dream is worth fighting for.
