Poetry Corner: Finding Me

Broken inside, are the shattered pieces that you will see

In time I will get back, that wandering memory of ME

I gave it all away, because of you I've lost track

Healing is optional.  I wonder why if the pain always comes back

My mind is set, my head held high, I will prove how I deserve your faith

All those times being put down, I will walk out of this fire, back straight

An empty ghost of myself, a lost and forgotten soul

How did I allow this?  Why did I let myself be the fool?

Your memory, another dream, I will no longer see those eyes so cruel

I will move on, I will be free, and your biting words will disappear

That "man" in the mirror, what you see becomes clear

The lies that you tell, so you can continue your part

I see it all now, what is missing is your very heart

A victim you will play, I no longer care about what they see

Eyes that judge will be ignored, I will not flee

I grow stronger by the day, sometimes the light feels a mile away

I know I can make it, I will have the faith in me that you let sway

I wonder if it had ever been there because letting go was so easy

Overlook my imperfections and tell me what it is that you see

I am a fighter, I deserve someone who can handle every obstacle

One who can fix what has been hurt by other people

My flaws are what make the person that I am

Each mended heartbreak makes me more of a survivor

No matter what people think, I will force myself to be stronger
