Insecurities Balance

Glance upon
the fallen edges
of night,
within
the torn seams
lie embedded fright.

Hauntings of
the cruel fate
of childhood,
the fury of fun
to harass another.
Then as you speak
your misunderstood.

Insecurities balance
dead upon adult floor,
the touch, feel,
and grasp,
stolen, and killed
from my core.
Long before it's birth
could ever see light.

The years of barrage
creep, and crawl,
attaching to
and hindering
my now daily fight.

On some level I can totally relate to this pain LD and it is a daily struggle but always remember that you are and always will be better than those who put you down. THey will only win once you believe their lies. Take care, big hug and smile  
Excellently expressed.

Out of longing great wonders have been willed
They're only little tears, darling, let them spill" Nick

Brian: Thank you, this was just one of those dark ponderings hidden deep, that found it's way to the surface. Lots of soul searching been happening within lately.

Doreen: A mighty big thanks to you for your grand compliment. Wow, your praise makes what I write feel right.

LD* This was haunting and powerful writing,
I remember the "sticks and stones" bit but
at times I think stones would be better.
Great work~

Hanging on the words and hopeful of a happy turn. Sadly it ended the way it began. Beautiful words.
