The Woman Inside

There's a woman inside, with a very big heart, but the people outside keep trying to tear it apart. The woman inside can't seem to say no,she wishes just once she could begin to show, the true feelings that she feels inside,and hold her head up with a little more pride. The people who know her wouldn't know what it's like, to go through everyday having to put up a fight. The people around her just don't understand,how they take advantage when she tries to lend a hand. Everyday is a battle not knowing what's to come, or at the end of the night when you just feel numb. The woman inside wants to take her own life, because the pain is so strong it's like a piercing knife. The woman inside often looks in the mirror,but know matter how hard she looks nothing seems clear. She looks and looks trying hard to find,for once in her life a little peace of mind. More than anything in life she wishes people around her could see,The Woman Inside, the real and true me. Colleen Marie Bono

So much desire is spilling out of this write. The desire to be heard, to be seen, and to be loved just as you are. I do hope that happiness finds you and that you are able to be heard, seen, and loved. So many prayers are being sent out for you. I will light a candle in hopes that blessings are carried to you sooner. ~Lolita
