Beyond You

When you broke me I never expected to be fixed Many felt I was beyond repair I was tossed upon a heap of lonely souls Drifting out to sea Discarded Forgotten Silent amidst my hollow dreams Still I was set free Free from you For once able to breath A hand held out lifted me up A new world was revealed Substance Hope Friendship Realization of what life could be Confidence in a new reality Someone could see the value of me No longer lost Heading towards hope Elevated to the stars Dreams no longer out of reach I am not broken any more Your predictions did not come true I thank God he helped me I'm living a life far beyond the restraints of you I listened to those lies spoken in my ear Felt each word pierce my broken heart Still some echos remain But they are drowned by a stronger voice And so I have learned to believe My soul is refreshed and relieved Part of me wishes that you could see Sadly I know You will never see the restored essence of me

Glad to be able to visit the poems on this "page" of yours again, Richard. I need to be able to come back to some of your surrounding writes. I'm so so glad you've broken free from those lies. You have turned out to be a wonderful man.

Richard....glad you've been able to overcome. What an amazing...heart rending write. The restored essence of you is simply amazing...and I don't mean the words...I mean the truth behind them! We all have baggage...but we choose to remain victims or not!
