It Happened

I feel as if I am out of control and so confused. I can't get past the issue, of being used and abused. It happened a couple of years ago, I need to move on. It is hard to start over, when everything is gone. How do I let it go when it surrounds me every day? It is like a roadblock, that ends up in my way. This heavy burden, that I carry around, causes me to stagger, before I hit the ground. I remember all of it, I remember it well. I can't forget, and in this memory, I dwell. Realizing what had happened, was a shock to me. I could hardly believe what the truth turned out to be. There was anger, there was disbelief. I needed to get out, find some relief. The pain that this has caused me, will not die. It still holds me hostage as I watch my life hurry by. I have tried to protect myself from the cold, but it remains frozen in my heart. A heart that already bleeds, so it tears my soul apart. Once, I did what I thought was right, and spoke my mind. But it just stopped there, only denial was left to find. So here I stand alone in this lonely, dark place, All that surrounds me, is cold, empty space.

Sandra i saw in the last reply to Susan, you are Healing..' You will find strength as you travel in Poetry, a time does not really define you at all Realise you can build, a path that is yours alone I'd think everyone looks around often in the cold Morning light thinking how disconnected life is Its just you see your past as the reason to feel That way. It may be a part? Yet the world is impersonal anyway, you are a survivour Stand, exercise your writing help others Be the solution.'

I have found writing to be very cathartic which is why I started writing about a year ago. You express your feelings well, Sandra, Keep writing and be strong. John

Very well expressed. Painful memories of situations can stay with us and it is a challenge to get through them and live in the moment today :)
