Broken, bitter from this life!
Conceived and received-
To be tortured by the hands that brought me here;
Not once was love thrown my way.
Sleepless nights and tear-filled eyes,
Bundled in the dark, wondering "why?"
Why am I detested by my own?-
To be hated and mistreated,
Punctured by daggering words;
Blinded by the bitterness eating at my being!
Confused, misused and abused,
Yet getting help was what I refused!
Seeing that I hoped change would be present
To save me from my many misfortunes.
But what happens when all hope changes?
I don't realize the seriousness of the issue-
Until scarred hands left me for dead
Beaten, broken and scarred, drowning in depression
And agony seeking the option to get better for myself!
Pain searing through me I seek refuge-
From the only other people I could find next door,
Attention, love and care given to me!
Unknowingly, I trust them enough
To help me when all else fails.
They listen to my pleads, my strifes, my cries
And then-
With open arms and bright smiling faces,
They welcome me into their home,
One of their own.
With authorized help, I had a new family-
One that cared, helped and loved,
Until I finally understood the meaning
Of a word I'd been trying to define all my life.
So now you'll never hurt me again;
I won't let you get in my head
For now I'm whole
And filled with the one thing I'd been searching for-
LOVE!

Emotions
PoetryI'm just a girl who feels so many emotions due to constant events in my life😖. Never exactly sure how to feel or act and be myself, self conscious of how others see me😓. Poetry is art and art works are as calming as rain. Writing gives me peace...
