Poets with a Purpose3. #3 ForeverForever
I’ve been looking for comfort,
bleeding in the corner.
Screaming I’m not a victim,
when the facts can barely support it.
I re-victimize myself every day,
and In my thoughts I ponder.
Can I find a way to escape,
or will I finally start moving forward?
Do I have to run away,
or will I rise above the slaughter?
There has to be a better way,
and I will walk the path beside her.
Not a thing can save the day,
but in our love I’ve found, Forever.

Become who you are,
my moon and stars.
You have a strength beyond words,
that can replace all your scars.
You’ve traveled so far,
And forgotten who you are.
But no matter how far,
Nothing’s ripped us apart.
You found strength in your heart,
and released years of hurt.
You have courage beyond words,
that expands as we search.
You reached in and found her,
the little girl trapped by the shed.
She was shaking and hurt,
and you gave her your hand.
You’re a woman now, for sure,
now that you’ve been left for...2019-07-3000 min

So embarrassed of my body that I ate up all my pain

Not a choice I could make without feeling like a toy
Played with by the world and my family did the same

Right here I choose the path to hea...2019-07-3000 min
