Do you feel abused by anyone? If so, why do you feel there's no escape, that you are permanently tied to that person? Have you sought help and how did that go?. R U OK? Remember,  we are anonymous,  you are safe here. I'd like you to chat here.

 

To a lady stranger abused by her partner.


RETURNING SHADOW

 

There is a shadow of your life that follows you around
Like every shadow here, they never make a sound
And just as you want to leave that shadow makes you stay
Then you return to life, just like any other day

 

There are many that left their shadow behind
To seek freedom of love and life of a different kind
To be so bold and not be told, to be treated as a woman grown
To think for yourself, and make choices of your own

 

Only then will your shadow relax and reappear
With thumbs up and no longer reason for any fear
A sign will arrive that you fought for all the rights you should have had
Smiles from your shadow and no longer trace of feeling sad

 

You'll blossom into that girl you used to be
The one that twirled her dress as if forever free
And the love will come to you as it does with effort more
Just like it does from the ocean to the shore

 

As you grow older and watch your children dance
You'll smile away because- you fought for a second chance
And as you seek the sun that shadow reappears
To give you that elusive smile and a thousand fewer tears....

Hi Tony

 

I can sense some inner child work on the horizon. Oh, my gosh, I can already feel it starting😮. This will be interesting 😁

BLENDED AS ONE

 

The little mite clenches her fists

Against the adults she also kissed

But they didnt want to hear her cries

Her fists then covered her innocent eyes

 

Then life went on but she never grew

All the adults yelling "we want to keep you"

But now a teen, end of the matter

Silent nights - no pitter patter

 

Now you hear her calling over the hill

You run, you see her, cuter still

That dress twirl identified one from two

"I love my dolls but I want you"

 

Initially no hugs but falling cries

Lots of stares into each other's eyes

Playground of laughter lots of fun

Walked back over the hill...blended as one...
