Shannon Deane Poet Dramatic Monologue

Magnetic

A magnet for abuse
In all their forms
Never was sure 
Where I was supposed to fit in
Visions of brighter future
The strength to face the present 
Courage to step through the past
Counting my blessings
Remembering wrongs never undone
Wishing upon that star
Dreams never achieved
Never truly understanding
Life's greatest mysteries
Why am I here, what do I do
Continue on the path I'm headed
Or change direction
Peace is achievable
Life begins when you believe in yourself.

Hgarvey Daniel Esquire January 31, 2013 at 1:48 PM Dear Shannon, From beginning to end a captivating Write. Superbly done. It saddens me to see the last POEM You wrote was last year April. I pray YOU and YOURS are Healthy and High in the Spirit. So many of the POETS that Welcomed me to the Soup are no longer around. If YOU can please drop me a note on YOUR well being LOVE YOU ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Eternal Liege...Harry
