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.
