Clawing Me Back

Sometimes my mind takes me on a journey To that cave i hid in as a child And i picture everything so clearly Like im there before your angry bloodshot eyes The object of all your hate Where im doubled over from the blows I can smell the vomit in the corner As you rub my face in it I shiver to my core from those fearful nights Alone without light I hear myself whimper from the pain A life you totally disdain And then i snap out of it like a man awaking from a coma. And i breathe in the Aroma of freedom Of this reality And you cant claw me back For through my God centered spirituality I realize i have forgiven you And i am truly free to be me And to never be like you.

Forgiveness is the best medicine .. Carl ... this is a great way to express the positive aroma of being free. Your first few lines captured the essence of a child with so much pain and discomfort (hate) on the inside. Wow.... I'm always looking forward to reading your poetry....Luv Linda
