Standing Strong

Too many times i wonder why I sit alone, i weep, i cry Many thoughts race through my mind What do i want and how do i find How do i find myself again When the past haunts me every night I wake in a shivvered frenzy For in your eyes all i saw was spite You told me that i would die And it would be your hand at work Youd cut my throat leave me to bleed It was a twisted mind that lurked You made me live in fear that day That my children would find me dead That thought has never left my mind It will always be inside my head. Yes i know i walked away from you And a marriage i vowed to keep But i couldnt live that life no more I was to scared to close my eyes and sleep. Now my life has turned around And i have found something new A man who loves me for who i am I can feel his love for me is true. So i will continue my lifes journey And i am not ever looking back Because the life i lived for so long before Has finally gotten itself back on track. Now my future seems even brighter For the emptiness has finally gone Instead there lies a brand new hope Of love, honesty, my true place that i belong.. written by Likey

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
