Time Heals All Wounds

It still comes back to me

Randomly

It seems.

The tears I once shed

Over the dignity

I felt was lost

By your sheer force.

Though my choice was taken

From me

My dignity

My person-hood

Remained intact.

It was only overshadowed

By the pan

But it doesn't last

It's not permanent.

Although I will never be the same 

The blame is not mine to carry

Nor is the shame.

I truly love this small piece of poetry and thanks for sharing the talent

A great loss, a difficult struggle, pain inflicted by another, acceptance and defiance, a powerful poem. Caution -- I would not label your profile Mature, but only your writing that is Mature. This poem, for example, would not require that label. The reason for this is two fold -- one, there are very good writers who do not like crass, swear filled pornography, who avoid Mature profiles all together, and 2, young people who are honest about their age are blocked from seeing you. If you know all this, cry pardon.

Thank you, KLgoode for your insight and feedback. I did not know that, and I will correct it. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

No problem, basically, label it Mature if it is sexual or has swears, or sometimes really violent.

[DAVID VELDE]

I love your poem. The process we have to go through to heal from human affliction. There is no fast track to recovery. Only time. :)
