Lm Klopp Poet Narrative

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

Sharon Winter February 22, 2009 at 7:54 AM 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

Lm Klopp February 18, 2009 at 3:23 PM 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".
