Suicidal Chase

Suicidal Chase

The shadow’s dissipating, 
moving slowly out of mind. 
Yet I find I'm still in misery 
and escape I can not find. 
Oh the memories, haunting 
memories, will they ever 
cease to be? I am running, 
ever running, and the past 
is chasing me...

I am 60 and that is my high school picture back in 1979. One of these days I will show my gray hair.

I'm happy you have moved forward and are writing. That must of taken a while to overcome, Susan. There is much evil in this world and many victims that deal with this adversity. I hope you have moved on and know that those deeds perpetrated on you will not go unpunished...

Michael, this is an old poem. I am 70+ years old and I am a child sexual abuse survivor. I was also diagnosed in my 20's with Bipolar. So there were some very dark times. I am good now. I have three beautiful daughters and many grand kids who fill me with joy. So thank you for your concern. Hugs back, Susan Maree

Thank you again Panagiota. I share my poetry with other abuse survivors too, on a private site for survivors that I run. It is cathartic to say the least. Blessings and hugs, Susan
