Borrowed Words from Mary Shelley
Behold, the once pristine shell now shattered into dust
The crushing chains once binding; lay still and turn to rust
Time elapsing slowly will dissipate the bruise
But scars retain a knowledge there's nothing left to lose
Broken words and broken hearted; emptiness so whole
Igniting angers' fiery fingers deep within my soul
Abandonment of conscience as sanity deserts
No longer being hostage in a place that only hurts
"Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful”
Icy shards of bitterness; feelings allowable
I have the strength to move on, to live another day
Peace of mind and character; so no I will not stay
Serenity awaits me, a peaceful state of mind
Filling life with laughter, joy; for which it was designed
I move from darkened shadows, searching for the light
Regaining independence to make my life feel right
