Dark Light
As a woman I have endured heartache to the point of no return I have cried an ocean of tears that didn't seem to stop flowing.
I have screamed on the tip of my lungs to where no one could hear me.
I have been burned by those who said that they loved me and hugged me with a smile.
I have seen my many loved ones leave me without a trace or a goodbye.
I was left with grief so strong that I didn't know if I could make it.
I fought those who were looking to take me down in public and destroy me in private.
I have dealt with so called friends comforting me in private and humiliating me in public.
The dark light surpassed every thing in front me I wanted to please everyone.
I wanted to make everyone else happy but I didn't think about my own happiness.
I wanted to be liked and loved by those who didn't care about me.
I wanted to please family members with the things that brought little joy to me.
I wanted everyone's acceptance but didn't know how to accept myself.
One day something changed in me something was different I no longer cared about what people thought of me or how they perceived me.
I no longer cared about the things that were said about me to those who were non-factors to me.
As a woman I have made mistakes I have made poor judgment and I have done things that I am not proud of.
But I have grown and become wiser through those things that were meant to bring me down!
The dark paths only made for the shining light that glows within me.
