A poem I wrote inspired from the music album, "The Other Side" by Nick Groff. |
Ever feel like no one will see or hear you Like nothing you say Can help your hidden pain I was raised in a living nightmare I felt powerless at times and had no say, nothing I did could make the pain stop What was my living nightmare? Let me tell you why it hurt My feared one tormented My mind and heart The worst torment I faced Was being threatened that her death will be my fault because I had enough and wanted my own life Once I was finally rescued I didn't know what to do Searching endlessly, I was at rock bottom But I didn't stay there long I strived to be better And somehow, someway Deep inside me something Remained strong and couldn't be beat This chapter of suffering was done Now onto find what I want The next chapter is mine I will write my story On my path, my most feared One tried to make me Give into her negativity again But I wouldn't give in So like my hero said Put positive in place of negative I recalled him wishing me Luck on my path What did I feel Empowerment Like I could Take on the world Now that I have Something to live for I know My life's start wasn't very happy But it's my choice now What and who I choose to be Finally, I have a say This is my life, my decision, My future and my path It will be a challenge But I'll remember this Bravery is not the lack of fear It's when I master my fears I have a long way to go before I can master my fears, but I must remain positive I must battle this negativity I came into this world fighting Defied the odds against me My will and spirit are strong And that's how I'll stay |
