Phenomenal...this here grips the souls in a vice where your wizardry of words constrict the reader's emotions and thoughts..squeezing out all self imposed illusions leaving behind nothing but TRUTH..deal with it or don't..the blueprint is written right here.....

Naajir my friend you have been missed, Thank you so very much for your kind words, they really do mean a lot to me.

This is so true to many people...to never
say no, to please everyone, wanting
everyone to like us, to be perfect, BUT
none of that is the truth, but a lie,
a lie we tell ourselves, and until those
free themselves, they will continue to be
the slaves, and they are the ones that
have to see that for themselves. We have to learn to keep ourselves happy and healthy, not
in a vain, selfish type of way, but to learn
to love ourselves enough to take care of.
I love the ending...we lose ourselves when
we become the slave, therefore, we have to
find that light and life in us again.
Very thought provoking poem:).

Thank you Angel, every bit of this piece is from my life experience and if it is of benefit to someone then it has earned your praise.

You say it so well, dear Red.

Thank you Grace, I always appreciate your visits.

I feel you Gypsy.  Such a profound and poignant pen and when that realisation hits, it really hits.

Great expression and write my dear.

Thank you my sweet. I had one of those revealing moments this morning and after some crying, this was born.

I understand and sympathize with every word of this - it resonates. The only thing to do is not look back to who you were, but forward, to who you WILL be.

Absolutely Petit, I am trying to keep the future in my sites, thank you for the positive comment.

Why Must the Amazons stay so strong, I will never understamd...to not become bitter through trials is one mean feat that is yet one more to be endured--Stay strong My Lovely Friend!!!
A Wonderful Pen to trying Life!!!

As one of Amazon's we are what we are, we endure and survive, thank you my friend. :-)


Red

Loved your revelations and honesty red....strider!

Love this..strong and clever-beautiful :-)

Wow this is a very powerful piece.  I can actually relate to this because iv been a slave to my family from a very young age and still am in some ways. So we never really get out of it no matter what we do.
