I Shall Get There In The End

With my low self-esteem
Confidence will often fall
Because so many years
I was made to feel small

No one would ever know
I'm able to hide the tears
I can put on a brave face
A smile always appears

Leaving emotional scars
Something I had to bare
I felt worthless and used
They never seem to care

I shall get there in the end
Determined to be strong
My confidence shall grow
As they were in the wrong

This is so full of pain and deep anger that it is beyond tears.  Keep writing it out so that you may get to where the flowers grow.

Good poem.  It's amazing as we grow older how we begin to realize the truth of all the little abuses which have shaped us.  There is so much abuse in the world and when we learn the truth of it, we are changed.  You are getting there!  Hope, your poems are always rich!   ....jo
