I'm Not Dead

Contributed by blue_angel on Friday, 27th May 2005 @ 10:27:28 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



i've learned a many things about life
about this pain and about my strife
i've been tortured, i've been abused
i've been hurt and i've been used
there's been days when i could have died
many a night that i have cried
too many days have i felt alone
i was too young but was on my own
yet even throughout these days of my life
i struggled and fought against the knife
and now i can say i've forgotten the past
i'll live each day like it is the last
yet even with shadows hanging above my head
i'm happy to say that i am not dead

jennie, i really liked this poem. it reads very well and tells your story and your victory over a horrible past. it touches the heart, the recollection of everything you've been through, that these are not just words but so many painful incidents in a young life. yes, you had to grow up way too fast, it isn't fair and you had to exorcise so many personal demons. but you triumphed. you broke those shackles, those unnameable things that worked to suppress your spirit. i may say it too often but everytime i think about what you have been through and managed to stay who you are, to beat... all of this, well it is such an incredible and awesome display of inner strength and character. i don't think i could have withstood what you did. maybe these shadows will hang around -- and i like that line, very visual and conveys the persistence --- but they will pursue in vain because you are the victor. i am proud of what you have done, proud to know you and most of all happy for your personal triumph.

Hay their girl you know I’m here for you anytime you need a comment. You have always been their with loving words on my piece and encouragement when I speak of pain and for that I thank you. This poem really touched my heart and is a big eye opener. It really hit me hard being way over here in Iraq girl. These last four lines are so powerful I don’t think you know how much they mean to a reader like me.

and now i can say i've forgotten the past
i'll live each day like it is the last
yet even with shadows hanging above my head
i'm happy to say that i am not dead

One thing through all my pain God has kept me safe over here and for that I am happy. Thank you for these words that comforted my soul and gave me hope as I opened this piece tonight. I truly divine piece bye a true artist. Take care my friend and may God bless your day. Your friend….Steve

There is hopefulness and determination in this, and I hope it will continue to see you through. Life can be very hard, but I do believe it is hard for a reason, and that if we try, wisdom comes from it.
Take care.

Andrew
