Ruptured

When I felt I was under judgmental power, it worried me. Those causes brought me running down the hill straight home sit by my desk hold my pen write, while listening to the sound of the clock chiming, with a hope, when I leave my chair my life would change. I was once a woman of style shinning, yet they judged me as a tedious unreasonable unpleasant unqualified for their society. I felt once unique universal they judged me, as an undesirable person with no feelings. I felt once as a tenacious and tender woman, I was judged as superficial sullen suitable only to suffer. I once felt talented with tact but they saw me as a talkative stubborn woman uncreative. I was once welcomed well known well bred, they judged me as vulnerable with no vitality unlucky worthless, a zero. I felt once I was a warm warm hearted woman, today I am washed out weeping, unwilling to fight back, as my insight withered. I am wounded weak because of them. At the beginning I was always right today I am always wrong. Therese Bacha 7 July 2013

It's so sad when words such as your last stanza are written. When one feels that they are worse off than before. Do not lose that confidence you should have in your words. They are powerful and strong. I love this poem. Keep at it! :)

Reading this poem..my thoughts went to my relationship with mydaughter.Now that she s a baby..I am her everything.I wonder as she grows older and become less needy of who i am..How she will see me then.Old fashioned?Hopeless?I really dont know..but what i know is..I do my best and leave the rest to God.I do believe that we change as we grow older..but Old age isnt something to accept but something to be blessed to live.I do wish i ll be like you at your age..That would make me proud sweet lady

Hi Terry; Life teaches us many lessons. There are times when we feel weak. I know - I''ve been there, but God gives us the strength that we need. You are not weak and you are not always wrong. Thanks for sharing this with us.... Lucy

You have expressed yourself so powerfully, you are not weak, you are strong and desirable! You are my friend! Life can be mean as Sara has said, life can bring suffering and pain at times, I hate to hear of people going through hard times! You have masterfully written a fantastic poem here my friend! What an outstanding piece, Great Work!!
