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....

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...
