This is a personal write, but I'm finding everyday that with each write as nonpersonal or personal I become stronger within.If it touches one person as it has me it's worth every line. When I was very young and sweet My innocenece full of life and upbeat My world in an instant was shattered in two By a man who knew just what to do He made me fear death alone He made me feel as if I was never alone He hurt me in so many ways That I retreated within myself to stay Then several years later there was another The man who used to love my mother He was my idol, my angel from above I thought he had been able to give me love Instead it was disgust and hurt He made me feel a sense of nonselfworth How in the world could this happen again Why did I bring this out in these men The pain, the anguish,the disgust, and the despair It was as if neither of them cared They haunted me every night For twenty-three years they took my spirit and life It caused many problems over the years It gave me lots of nightmares and fears I let it take ahold of my life I let the engulfment of my heart be strife I've caused myself so much pain I've caused myself to falter and rain But no more will I let them take hold No more will I let them have control For it's time for me, to myself to be true No matter the outcome this is what I have to do For it's time to take my life back again And be that wonderful spirit that I know is within My thoughts, my fears, and all of my dreams Are all legitimate realitites No more will anyone take from me For it's time to set my spirit free Sorry this is long but it just kept coming. angelblueyes |

"For it's time to take my life back again And be that wonderful spirit that I know is within My thoughts, my fears, and all of my dreams Are all legitimate realitites No more will anyone take from me For it's time to set my spirit free" Crystal...Yes...I love the positive and hopeful ending to this. I'm sorry that you had to go through all of this, but am happy to see that you are writing it out, taking control of your life and moving on.  Hugs to you,  ~Vicky "My friends are my estate." ~Emily Dickinson [This message has been edited by vlraynes (07-22-2003 10:59 PM).] |

Sometimes gutting the wound speeds the healing. Pour out the pain, as you were blessed with the gift of poetry. TD |

But no more will I let them take hold No more will I let them have control For it's time for me, to myself to be true No matter the outcome this is what I have to do For it's time to take my life back again And be that wonderful spirit that I know is within My thoughts, my fears, and all of my dreams Are all legitimate realitites No more will anyone take from me For it's time to set my spirit free Crystal, I am so sorry that you had to go through this. But, I am glad that you are finding strength through your writing. Thank you for sharing this with us.  Hugs Ethel |
