Eileen R. Kelly Poet Lyric

Purple Heart

I moved out from under, 
I bring my own thunder, 
I don't cheat myself 
I don't self torment 

I'll pen my loss 
vent the difference 
participate life 
in mode positive 

I'm off the fence 
not part of the problem? 
part of the solution? 

decided for my life,a resolution? 
I celebrate my past, 
my strength, my courage resides, 

I know where I come from 
scary, but it's true 
I have the scars to remind me, 
...the knowing thank God 
I am not like you 

so here I am with my courage, 
my strength, my wisdom, I have 
arrived, 
took me well over twenty years 
of baggage... 

the most important decisions 
make themselves 
...the truth reveals itself 

you wounded my spirit, 
you did not destroy it, 
you are dismissed, 
return to hell
