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
