To Those Who Dont Care

To those it doesn’t concern Just a short note to the ones who say they care I find it funny to this day you say you was there All the times I was in need, and you turned ya head Like to get my jaw set, ask a friend you had said How could I when it was my jaw that was broken All the times I kept quiet not one word had I spoken All the many times you see but this is a quick note So I can’t list even a fraction funny huh but no joke I wanted to thank you for leaving me high and dry And now you look surprised do you wonder why Honestly, well I’m a strong woman now you see Because you’ve hardened my heart for me That’s why I blocked you the other day on line I don’t need that part of my family by design Been letting me down since I was five but it’s okay Just know I made it this far in life, I did it my way Yea but I taught my kids good family values It was rough, and not too many issues But hey look I gotta run now I know I didn’t need to I just needed to say thank you, and I forgive you Signed Your daughter and Your sister

Not so sure about the last two lines myself...hmmm...ponder. I much prefer the: "I just needed to say -- your going to get yours, mucker...and some too". Stuff all that forgiving business! Perhaps he might just happen, by accident of course, to stumble underneath a passing bus? Or accidentally trip off a platform into the path of an oncoming train? Let us most fervently hope so. Moral of the tale: once abused -- forever shy! Stay safe and snug, Poetess...and steer clear of scum. Big hug :) john

wow, this is one powerful poem that holds a punch in the gut, I can relate to this, so thank you for sharing it with me this morning. Be proud of who you have become, integrity is upmost and foremost in your life, and your children will thank you one day, There is an old saying that says, those that matter will stay by you, those that don`t, well they never mattered , you just didn`t know it. Sending love and prayers of inner peace dear Brenda.

Emotions spoken that needed to be said and strongly done. Life, to a lot of people is me, me. But if you are like me you are always there to share your hand and kind words, but when a storm comes and your left out in the cold all those that you were there for are not no more, all hiding in their own little worm hole. Enjoyed reading. Hugs Eve

Yea Eve I feel you that! Trust I know that very well...but still hey it took me so many years to just be done with the bull from family no less! My heart has hardened but it’s still left wide open for others kinda strange actually but hey I know what it’s like to struggle all my life I hate to see others struggle too! Thank my friend!;)

Wow! What a powerful poignant potent pen you wield, my dear sissy!! You spill poetic ink without mercy and with all your fiery heart. Deep with scorching emotions, but that last line "and I forgive you" is fire! Such an intimate piece of personal strength, Dragon Fire. You shine in your big sissy's (..I know only by a few minute.. lol!) eyes :)) Love and hugs.. your sane and appreciative twisty sis
