Inner Strength
I wanted to be free of hurt and pain.
Your cruel act left a horrible stain.
I wanted to just vanish,
I longed to be banished.
You took my self worth.
and I questioned my birth.
I was numb,
and I felt dumb.
I hated life,
I felt only strife.
Each time you touched me,
I died slowly.
You caused me to live in fear.
You robbed me of my tears.
I became a mute, I couldn't speak,
but one day silence reached it's pique.
I found my voice and I wanted to live,
and I had to somehow survive.
My inner strength rose up very bold
I told you to take your filthy hands of me,
and I felt a gentle peace take hold.
I went from a victim to a victor instantly.
