Elaine Perrin Poet Rhyme

Stronger Now

So many years in therapy 
To find my peace and clarity 

Imprinted on my memory 
Are things I do not wish to see

They don’t fade as bruises do 
Forever there and stuck like glue 

But don’t you grasp dear what you have done 
I’m stronger now , you haven’t won

I’m healing slowly from what you dictated 
And just you see what I created 

I used your hatred , now I’m free
And turned it into poetry 

Unleashed my trauma into words 
And as I do anxiety curbs 

Until I’m empty I will write 
Release my anger, rage and spite 

Ridding it from all that’s ugly 
And weave it something lovely 

And if these words can serve my kind 
A purpose you have helped me find

James Inman October 13, 2019 at 2:19 PM Whatever your reason for writing I'm enjoying reading your poems and the obvious talent you show in writing them. May I suggest, when you are ready, check out the "Types Of Poems" link at the top of the page. It gives definitions on a variety of different forms that may help you develop your talent even more. Don't let them intimidate you, there are a lot. Many are rhyming forms that would work well with your style such as quatrains and sonnets. Elaine Perrin October 17, 2019 at 7:06 AM Thank you so much James for all your lovely comments and yes I Will do that at some point soon. There is so much I need to learn! I have entered some and have done quite well but will keep at it. Thank you again for the feedback and guidance :-) x James Inman October 13, 2019 at 2:20 PM You might even want to enter a contest if you haven't already. I wouldn't be surprised to see you win one.
