I'M Still Standing

My father raised me to always be aware of my surroundings.  I thought I was!  I was invited to a party by my ex-boyfriend, I cleaned up, got dressed & drove there.  Next thing I know, I'm waking up in my ex- boyfriend's bed. I couldn't understand why there were people walking around in his apartment and in his bedroom. How was it that I slept through all that?  I ran into his bathroom and shut the door.  I felt so nauseated--I got sick.  I kept forgetting what I was saying.  I was confused.  People there were avoiding me; including my ex.  He kept laughing at me with his friends.  I thought we could be friends after we had broken up, but obviously, I was wrong.  Feeling scared and helpless, I managed to drive home.  I felt so dirty.  I went straight into the bathroom and took off my clothes. As I stepped nto the shower, in the the mirrors, I noticed bruises on both my inner thighs & forearms. It took me a while to figure out what happened to me. The last thing I remembered that night, was being handed a drink with alcohol and it was laced with a daterape drug.  By the bruises on my arms,  it was obvious that I was given intrevienous drugs. It was a nightmare knowing such horrific acts were done to me that night.  God was with me!  HE knew it was more than I could handle.  HE took my memory away.  My left groin was in a lot of pain for three months.  I believe, if I wasn't given a daterape drug that night and I had to remember everything, I'd be in prison,  today, for murdering the men who raped me. GOD is good all the time!  After all, I'm still standing!

Alone

Laying down in bed next to you,
I’ve never felt so far away.
Nothing left to say anymore,
Too much hurt in the way.

Even if i tried to forget everything,
I cant, my head has a mental block.
Everything you’ve done to me,
Every time you say “I did not!”

Your lies are the worst!  
You just can stop! 
You expect me to believe you?
Yeah, right!  Never! NOT!!!

It’s time we realize there’s nothing left,
And go our separate ways.
See for what it is...nothing anymore.
May as well, because i lay here...alone.

To Really Hurt

Seems like life just doesn't quit!
Here's one, within my hearts tick.

Where do I begin?
Where it rips up underneath my skin?

Just when I thought I was so aware,
another obstacle that doesn't care.

Being strong was last on my mind.
Only angriness, why? for being kind?

Lingering, I was in my sorrow, 
blinded to what holds tomorrow.

Revenge sounded at it's sweetest--
but I was just being tested.

Now, I found my greatest weapon,
my reward, just doing nothing.

I gained more strength from it all,
by walking away and standing tall!

Trying Times

Everyday, is a different, fresh new day.
I can either make the best of it, or waste it all away.

Shall I be happy with what I have and shut the complaining up? or move on and enjoy each moment living it up?

I can't help it sometimes, I've lived by myself, alone, with long stretches without God, family, and staying at home.

I can forgive myself, it's the forgetting that gets  me down, especially, when I see myself repeating a past, not so condoned.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm just breathing, but for a purpose worth being alive--my son's, my God, my so-called friend's, and my experienced past must be why.
