Finding strengthA Poem by Karen Elizabeth millerLooking inside myself to find strength when I thought all was lost
She flinches as the hand comes down
To meet her face This is what she is used to Then it's the blood she tastes Every day every hour She waits for it to come again Can't escape or get away How she now hates all men This world is screwed up That is all that's on her mind She wants to feel nothing now Dead ends is all she finds He dominates her life And tells her what to doe Feeling depressed all the time She wants it all to be through She doesn't know where to turn To make it go away Unsure what to do I guess here is where she'll stay Starting to get worse All the time she fades away Not wanting to be in the real world Numb is what she wants to stay She has nowhere to go She can't run away or stay She wants to just die today That is where she'll be okay She tries to kill herself But something goes a rye Now she has more strength this time And doesn't want to die She starts fighting back The pain is still the same as before Knowing she's worth more than this Gets her stuff and walks right out the door Karen Miller © 2013 Karen Elizabeth millerReviews
