Poem Title:
Poem
Opening up was the best thing I could have ever did All those things that made me & embarrassed me as a kid You never looked at me different because my past was shameful Talked to you about some of the things in my life that we’re still painful I am human, filled with emotions and lots of anger Hate filled my heart to the point I wanted to lock it in a chamber How I feel is as real and emotional as it gets Stress consumed me for years, felt like I needed a cigarette Needless to say the battle has been done I’m still standing and breathing so I must have won The ultimate prize of keeping my sanity and myself free Love the fact my past is so messed up… It really made me You I give the ultimate credit for finding my inner voice Felt like with you I have to write, it really leaves me no choice I am a woman, blemished, flawed and tortured by life Invisible wounds on my heart from being cut by life’s knife But still I stand and hold my head up High I only have one life and I refuse to give up and Die I am woman, lover, and loyal friend till this life takes me away I only wish I could have told you all the things I wanted to say I understand that people are placed in life for all types of reasons With you I guess it was only meant for a season Learned a lot about myself with the help of you You embraced me with ease and had no clue Life had killed me, left me emotionally dead Then I met you, felt like the best thing I never had The make up of me is so complex, guarded & sad I’m learning to let go of it all, no more hanging on to the past All those people that did wrong by me can officially get a rash Living for me now so I gives no care how you feel This is me, uncut, uncensored… I feel the need to be real No longer taking my past and feeling sorry for how it was Living life to the fullest… Just like everyone else does Don’t feel sorry for me I am no longer a victim, I’m Free Just letting the world know I am no longer ashamed of being me The mirror I used to run from I now embrace The hate that was once in my heart has now been replaced That frown that I always wore because if hurt to smile I keep this smile permanently embedded and it’s going to be here for a while I am no longer sad…. I’m so focused on my life and moving forward Carrying all that hate and anger around was such a burden Free..Free.. Free from life’s tortures and Pain Standing on my own two feet with a smile is how I will remain
