A Positive End...

[Ria]

Through all the twists and turns
Everything felt so cold, so rough
Burning embers in my soul
The knotted feelings would churn and churn
Facing another day was just so tough


I would look in the mirror
But there was no clear view
There were so many paths I had to try
Just to help me to get through
Had to just keep going, even though it was harsh
Times and certain people
So cruel and unkind


After some years and the pathways I took that took their toll
Led me to a wonderful time
Now I look in the mirror and there is a clear view
Most of the pain now way behind
Perserverance was my preacher
Friends were my survival, my soul


I no longer look over my shoulder
I got through all the years of fear
As I have got older I have seen through life
After all my battles, all the strife
I now see clearly and
After all that and more
I can now have a life

Wow... that was great girl. You have me tearing up over here. Such a positive/happy ending. Thanks so much for sharing.

 

[Ria]

Thank you Suzie.

I have been made even happier, since being here too - there are some real lovely, warm people here that I consider friends.

Someone very dear to me, very caring, encouraged me to try and put my life into a poem, to show there can be a positive ending to all that's gone on.

So, I decided to do it, as that person was right.

There is a message there to hopefully help those in the same place I was once at.





Right, I have to go and wrap my son's presents nowl. :eek LOL

I really like this. Great job.

* I wish someday I could have that happy ending result.

Well, you will Charmer.

It took years for me to be able to feel free again, but that's not to say it will be that long for you.

I just wanted to let people know that without detailing all the graphic detail, I was able to get through it all somehow. There was no professional years ago that I could go to, even if I knew where to start for that. I couldn't sniff without being got at, so to speak, let alone seek help to get away from what I was feeling and going through.

Those ways above, in my poem, got me through eventually though and if I can do it, anyone can.

There is a clear way ahead for all of us in the end.

Take care and hope you will be able to sort through like I did, whatever it is that troubles you.

Willpower and determination helped me too.

Thanks CB - yeah, there are too many like that which is the saddest part, but the point is that even those with absolutely no support can get through, as tough as it is, it can work.

I never thought it would for me, never saw me coming through a lot of stuff, but I have and happiness is more important to me now than ever, once I got there.

Merry Christmas to you and your family too, CB.

Take care.
