Strong

Strong

If only you could look deep inside to see,
the haunting memories inside of me.
Twisting and churning the pain never goes,
never ceasing, it only ever grows.
To the back of my mind I place this pain,
deep inside my vault, hoping not to feel it again.
I looked for help, but you returned more fears,
scarring, cutting, I would shed more tears.
Oh how your abuse was like the tide,
coming back for more, filling you with pride.
With each crushing word more of my blood was spilt,
I ask you now, do you ever feel guilt?
Will you ever truly understand,
the sorrow you placed in my heart with your hand?
But of all the memories my heart has kept,
and of all the times that I have wept.
I forgive, I love, and dwell with you no longer,
for your hate for me only made me stronger.

I know these feelings ALL TO WELL and i can't tell you it gets better because it hasn't for me so i dunno why people constantly tell me that. I suffer from the abuse same as you and its not fun and i just hope that you'll be alright and that it's a good thing to take your anger out in your poetry. I had to learn that the hard way!
Much love,
Shelbi

I have never suffered abuse, but I have dealt with many that have. I am so glad you found the strength to distance yourself from it. So few ever find that strength. Whatever feelings you have left to deal with, try to turn to pity for the abuser because it is a disease. Forgiveness is crucial but never allow yourself in that position again and no that none of it is your fault. It is a sickness that is generally learned from the life of the abused.

Sorry you had to feel the abuse, that one could do to you. You do understnad, that you werent just phyically, but as well as mentally. I do understand, oh so well..but it as my mom tht it happened to. Just dont look back at the past, go on and you will find someone who does and will actually love you! Again, so sorry!
