Empty Woman

Once the strong, confident woman She now struggles to remember the battles Battles fought and won The triumphant joy How foolish Believing Hoping Now afraid, weak and lonely Beyond emptiness Complete and utter starvation Sad, unforgiving, unkind Filled with betrayal Unarmed for battle Alone Share the wisdom of her pain Don’t waste it

So sorry for all you've been through. Life has a strange way of teaching us. Truth is, it seems to me many of the people I know who have had the darkest experiences, end up shining the brightest. Your last two lines say it all. Good luck and keep writing. Love, Shar

Christina, Thank you for your comment. I'm sorry if I've offended you in any way. My writing comes from my own personal experiences and is a way for me to heal and express myself. My poem does not really say "bad things about people".
