Buried Rage - Part 2
All that is left of her now
Is a suspicious, damaged woman
Whose bitter cynicism engulfs her
For all she can see in any man now
Is the abuse he will inflict on her
The lies he will tell her
The mind games he will play with her
The way he will one day betray her
The way he will stop loving her
The way he will let her down
The way he will use his power and dominance
Over her to take advantage of her
Because that is all that she has known
She has not been enlightened to
Any other ending to her story
She would not know Prince Charming if she laid eyes on him
Because she never knew such a man could exist
While you are well aware
Of the demons that haunt her
There is no cessation of the actions
That provoke her wrath
Ignoring the warnings
Treating her ghosts and battle scars
As a trivial dilemma
This is not a mere flaw in her personality
It is who she is
Her emotions consume her
And motivate her every deed
Saintly or malicious
If you show no care in this pristine meadow
You will unleash the child in her
That is screaming for the justice that has forsaken her
Then the enraged, distrustful woman will emerge
Together creating a monstrous tornado
That will spin violently out of control
Giving her justice finally through acts full of
Love, caring, trust, kindness, sensitivity and honesty
Will bring out the sweet, loving compassionate woman
That was been locked inside her soul
Waiting to be released so she can begin a new life
That has the fairytale ending
