A Lifetime of Abuse


I wish I could snap my fingers and get over this… I wish the world would suddenly make sense.  I am haunted by ghosts of my past. Just when I think I am making progress they pop up and frighten me again.  I am in the Minotar’s Labrynth stalked by something terrible and unseen.  In Medusa’s Lair… with the whispers and hisses at my back that vanish when I turn my head.  Constantly seeking a foe I cannot see.  How can I possibly defeat my enemy and escape?  I fear I will not survive this.

Adrift


In a torrrid sea of faces

and voices

I cling to you.

Fighting violently

I resist the pull

of my old life…

of lies and pretending

of repression and unspoken violence.

I don’t want this anymore.

I crave peace,

unending.

So today I figtht

so that tomorrow

I may heal.
