Life and Hope

Life and Hope

A Poem by Elsie

No one can see my pain within me
How can any realize how the rapes, the molestation, the abuse, or even being used
Have effected my daily living
No one understand how hard it is to live your live
Afraid that the next person you date will be like those who hurt you
Never really trust people 
Cause you are afraid that you will never be good enough
That you deserved what they did to you
Yet you know that there is nothing in this world
You would wish more then to know why
But sadly you know that all your why questions will never be answered

You wake up in the morning and wonder why 
There are times when you have to push yourself out of bed
Cause you just don't feel like facing the world today
You keep pushing forward in life cause you know 
That there is someone out there that is far off worse then you where ever
Sadly though what people can't understand or even see
That all you have been through has changed who you are 
How you look upon the world
It does not matter how many people tell you that they love you
It does not matter how many people tell you that they won't hurt you
It does not matter how many people tell you that you can trust them

Nothing matters to you anymore
All you can do is just keep on pushing forward
You know that you keep looking for the day that your pain will be wiped away
That you will be able to leave your home without all your fears following you
Just that you can't see that coming
No matter how many times you wish that you could wipe away everything in your past
To be able to have a normal relationship 
You know that deep down in your soul that you probably never change it 
Cause you learn so much about those around you
You learned how to be so strong that it hard for you to be weak
You learned how to never ask for help 
Cause that show weakness, but then you see
When you do actually need the help you can't ask it
For you are too afraid to admit that you are only human

That you need the love that will love you for you
You know that the people you are around know that you are broken
That no matter how much you try you can't be fixed
They need to realize that no matter what 
You are who you are and nothing anyone can say will change that. 
It may be hard to see now, but I am not the person I was growing up
I have changed greatly through everything I have been 

Even when I believe that the only thing I really want to do is give up
I know I can't give up
I must keep fighting forward in hopes to find the answer to a simple
but most difficult question to answer "Why"
I keep on pushing forward in hopes that my pain will be wiped away

I don't want people to feel sorry for me
I don't want people to say "I am sorry for what you through and I understand"
I don't want people trying to fix me since I am broken

What I want is someone who will understand 
My fears and failures but love me all the same
Who accpets that what I have been through but still loves me the same

I don't want someone who loves me the most and just for what they want 
I want someone who see me and knows it will take time
That is what I want, but who knows what the future holds
