The power within
Angry, broken, sad and confused,
Hurt and lost
With way to many memories,
Of all of the abuse
I punch and kick,
I Claw and I scream
At the emotional and physical,
Walls that surround me.
Tired of fighting
Tired of the past,
Used to being alone
My tears run cold
My heart-beat slows
At the epi-center of a hurricane I stand,
Lashed by winds that scream continuously at me,
‘‘You’re worthless! You are nothing, will never be anything!’’
My skin-whipped raw by the pelting rain,
Hitting so hard
My skin turns red all over again
The power of the storm,
That I have created,
Runs rampant inside of me now
Trying to tear me limb from blood-red limb,
Trying to shatter my being.
This is my power,
My greatest strength
My greatest ally,
As well as my strongest demon
To conquer it
I must embrace it all,
My past, my present and the future too
That’s so very hard to do,
When your so scared of losing it all,
Of not being strong enough to continue,
Walking along,
This strange path
That I appear to have found myself on.
I have the power to shine,
As well as the power to self-destruct,
Who do you trust,
When you have no one to trust?
