Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy

@ShiningStar Thank you so much for your very kind words. Writing has become such a joy and important part of my healing and I feel privileged to be able to share it here for everyone to read. As @Dimity has kindly expressed, I have posted several poems on this thread already. If you scroll back through you'll find mine as well as many fine works from @StuF @Mazarita @BlueBay and of course @Silenus who was the creator of this thread. 
Have a wonderful day my friend and thank you again for your support. It means a great deal.  xx

Feeling a little broken today folks. So sharing a verse from the dark depths of my soul.

### TRIGGER WARNING ###

 

If you are not in a good headspace probably a good idea to give this one a miss. 

 

Big hugs to all xx

Struggle

 

Born without a hope in hell,

The chord stuck round my throat,

Face first, all bruised and battered,

Set the tone for lifeโ€™s big quote,

The world is chaos, donโ€™t you know,

From day one it was clear,

You never understood me,

So the struggle started here.

 

I barely reached my first birthday,

My brother stood on me,

With broken ribs, Iโ€™m now deformed,

For all the world to see,

My chest caved in, but worst of all,

You didnโ€™t even care,

You left me helpless, crying,

With a frightened little stare.

 

And then began the torment,

Of a mind so young and good,

You hated everything I was,

I never understood,

Just why you didnโ€™t love me,

Time and time again I tried,

To be the perfect daughter,

Luck just wasnโ€™t on my side. 

 

And so I suffered silently,

I lived inside my head,

Life was like a prison,

Raised on hatred, fear and dread,

And no one even noticed,

Who I was or how I felt,

It didnโ€™t seem important,

It was just the hand life dealt.

 

And so I grew up fearing,

Everyone and every thing,

The world was just an ugly place,

No comfort did it bring,

But still I tried to win the love,

Of parents and a mate,

But all I ever got,

Was overwhelming loss and hate.

 

A teenager, an adult,

Didnโ€™t matter I was cursed,

To roam the earth a lonely soul,

A weary heart traversed,

I never fitted in you see,

I wanted to belong,

But all I ever found,

Were people chiding,

What was wrong.

 

Wrong in everything I did,

And everything I said,

Wrong in all the choices,

That I made inside my head,

Wrong in feelings, wrong in mood,

My spirit aptly torn,

Wrong that I was breathing,

Wrong that I was even born.

 

And now the years have all but passed,

The struggle lingers on,

Iโ€™m still alone, Iโ€™m still fearful,

And life is still a con,

Iโ€™ll never understand the why,

Nor how, nor what you did,

My wounds are all I ever had,

Iโ€™m still that broken kid.
