More or less
Spinning in circles, Aimless, exhausting. Useless and purposeless, Unfocused, despairing. No escape from the past. Stark house of mirrors. Reflections distorted, Amplify horrors. Sadness weighs heavy. A shroud of silence. Impenetrable walls, Invisible defence. More than past moments. Keep seeking true essence. With presence comes wisdom. A glimmer of hope. 🌻

Pretending
I’ve spent my whole life,as far back as I can remember,Pretending to everyoneThat everything’s fine. I even denied my own reality, Now that really is the worst kind of gaslighting.

Speechless Sadness
I ceased to exist. Profound Stillness. Utterly Silenced. Impenetrable Numbness. Braced against the world. Far, far removed. Serious little girl. Brown hair shorn, boyish. Brains, not looks. Watchful, a pleaser. Still, beauty shines Through solemn blue eyes. Tears flow silently. The only expression Of insurmountable grief. Prolonged aloneness Seeking accompaniment, Searching for safety. Speak, child.…

What happened?
As a child of abuse I’m still trying to find Who I am Outside the walls Of dysfunction. As a child of abuse I live in survival. Fear every shoe fall. What’s round the next corner? As a child of abuse, Restrained, arms distance. Vulnerability, too risky. Tears? Laughter? Unsafe. As a survivor of abuse,…

Too Sad to Talk Right Now
Too sad to talk. Paint on a smile. Blank as we walk. Seek distraction. Idle chatter. Thoughts an intrusion. Drive to escape. Dark roads pull me back miles, decades. Painful feelings. Too much emotion is overwhelming. Fly high, far away. Seek out the light of a fresh new day. 🌻
