Me (Journey of a Woman)A Poem by The Uncommon MusePoem written about how I see myself at timesOnce long ago, my emotions wandered to and fro.
Treated rude and mean, afraid to be heard or seen. Always glared at scornfully, I lived my life mournfully. Loneliness grew, for happiness I never knew. Love became a stranger, my soul was in danger. What others saw as meekness, I knew to be weakness. Unconditional acceptance I craved, to this end I did slave. But their rules were all too rigid, their glances oh so frigid. Beaten and berated, myself I completely hated. Tears, they did nightly rain, no ease to the thundering pain. No one could feel beautiful, when treated so pitiful. Where life and love should bloom, I knew only gloom. Deeper and deeper into the abyss I hurled, begging pleading, please take me from this world. But somewhere lost deep inside, a little glimmer did reside. Waiting patiently for its moment, to help ease my torment. Spurred by their inhumanity, their unbelievable insanity. Sick of always despairing, burning, burning to be daring, Tired of the cold and the starkness, it emerged from the darkness. Slowly, oh so slowly, my thoughts became less lowly, Soaring higher and higher, I arose from the mire. Wounds were tended and healed, my new spirit finally revealed. Joyfully, now I shiver, in fear I no longer quiver. Proud and tall I stand, their acceptance I fully demand. Life, it flowed back to me, I have truly been set free. © 2010 The Uncommon MuseReviews
