Will I

Forgiveness takes time. And it's for you. Not them. Yes, you will be stronger than you ever imagined. And comfort in yourself is on it's way. Stay the course Tommie. Heartfelt poem doll. Thank you. xo

I hurry and wait for that day TS!I know it will happen, but my patience is thinning out.Thanks for the uplifting words, I always enjoy  your comments. XO

Ever be as strong as I
pretend to be, behind
my smile is an invisible

u r strong enough

Thanks A

A good first start is searching your soul...the way you describe in this poem. Be completely and, if need be, brutally honest with yourself. I am finding that you are never too old to become who you need to be to satisfy all of your yearnings. Thank getting me to embrace who I am.

A lot of soul searching. I know there's something better than this.Takes time and patience. Thank you GW.

Knowing that there is something better is a seed that will grow...and you will eventually taste the sweet fruit of your search

Thank you kindly Gabriel

you will be stronger Tommie, good write

Thank you glen

Don't let the undesirable experience of someone who has abused/outstayed their welcome blind you to the desirable that is still in you.

Appreciate your comment SS, thank you.

my dear,pain is part of our lives,but being happy or sad or lonely is a choice.you can choose to be sad each day but that's dangerous because if you let it;that pain will eat you little by little each day till your spirit is broken.
but you can choose to let go,forgive them*forgive yourself and move on.
at the end of the day,its not about the demons or the predators,its about you!it is your life.you can choose to pretend to be strong or you can work your way to being strong by leaving the past behind and realize there is no future in it and give yourself a chance to feel new things and feelings and emotions again.
life is so beautiful my dear,why do you wanna dwell on the lemons instead of making lemonade and adding a little honey on it and then enjoy the flavor!
goodluck!

I agree peninnah!Lemonade and honey :)
