Mistreating me

Written for The Albert's cafe "Fun with form" Contest

 

Mistreating me,

I’ve been long doing.

Mistreating me

I’ve acted foolishly

My actions are now showing

I was not in the knowing.

Mistreating me

 

Mistreating me,
allowing you to give pain.
mistreating me
I'm setting me free

I'm stepping out of the rain
into the sunshine again.

mistreating me

True form my lady but a single stanza is more acceptable

It's a bit like an incantation... and the refrain makes the point effectively!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Well don't know much bout the style of poem but I do love this poem, the stepping into your your and finding inner strength, an inspiring piece to anyone in a hurtful relationship.
