Unworthy

Like a twisted climbing rose, you crept into my life. Taking my peace ,leaving only strife. You pushed me to my limit, putting me on edge. Your abuse was like a stopping point, Like a privet garden hedge. We lived this life day by day, trying hard to stay out of each others way. Until the day that I stepped out of your trap. Realizing you were nothing more than a sap. And now my peace has been restored the voices in my head I chose to ignore. My life is not like it used to be since I walked out the door. Leaving you behind as I never did before.

Karen, I think you did the right thing, no one should have to feel like this, being trapped. I like you your poetic ways, and friendly comment on my page. Karen, I'm from Texas. I have 2 sons, that take up all of me. I hope we can become new poetic friends. SKAT
