When life has been cruel

A Poem by Onlyme

When life has been cruel

and unkind to a human being.

They can turn either way.

They can carry on the cruelty

they have learnt and seen

and felt.

Or they can break the chains

that bind them tightly.

And break free from the past

that haunts them.

I know that it is not easy to do

but it can be done.

With help, support, time,

understanding of the past and

why it happened to you.

Ie. No fault of your own.

Also finding Self-love,

self-esteem, building confidence

and determination to

never walk in those same steps

again you had to walk.

When you suffered back then.

When that happened to you.

Yes, it means exploring your feelings,

counselling, therapy and talking.

And maybe taking medication

and learning relaxation techniques.

But it will help you become a better

YOU in general.

As you become who you were

meant to be for YOU.

And for no one else.

To be happy for once in your own life.

It does not happen overnight

but it does happen and you WIN for YOU.

I agree dear Dawn.
"Yes, it means exploring your feelings,
counselling, therapy and talking.
And maybe taking medication
and learning relaxation techniques.
But it will help you become a better
YOU in general."
The above line is needed for many. I have my father bad temper. I meditate and control my anger. Isn't always easy. Always a pleasure to read your words and wisdom my friend.

This is so wisely put. We can't or shouldn't let others hold us back. We are meant to be free spirits and do what we wish, as long as we don't intentionally hurt someone. If they wish to do us harm then its time to unshackle ourselves to do whatever is necessary to be free to express our feelings. Nicely done - Dawn.

Take care - Dave
