Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Fists clenched... eyes full of hate hearts pounding hard, this can't be my fate. No reasons needed... striking without thought, a body battered... another battle fought. Scars inside and out, tears being shed... asking for forgiveness, I love you, being said. A promise of never again, begging me not to leave... believing in your love, happy I try to be. Fearful of my future, anticipating the final blow... the heaviness in my heart lifting, knowing that I must now go. This is from 24 years ago at a time in my life when I was fighting for my life and my soul. And I finally won the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious_Peaches Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 That is heartbreaking, inspiring and amazing all at the same time. What would normally be a painful poem is made very satisfying knowing the positive outcome. I'm glad you made it out of that horrific situation, sweet Jane. You are a strong woman and I congratulate you on taking control of your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 CeeCee and Peaches thanks. It is amazing what a person will find within them to survive, as I am sure you know. I can read that poem now and not relive the pain. Sometimes it is like I am not reading about myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
