Image for the poem Cliff Edge

Cliff Edge

Psychological abuser
His targets specific
Mental games
Without shame

Projection
Manipulation
Intimidation
Humiliation

Once passionate, resilient and full of life
She now stands on the cliff ledge
Gazing down the vertical drop
Her demons taunt, nonstop

Shame
Guilt
Disconnection
Mental Exhausted

Unwitting succumbing,
buckling under pressure
surrendering
the rocky edge crumbling

Confused
Angry
Stolen identity
Warped reality

The inner child plunges
Depleted of self-protection
But birthed from ashes
A  resilient amazon warrior

Strong
Resourceful
Brave
Red headed gladiator

Steadfast on the cliff edge
Unyielding iron grip
Rescuing the inner child
Together they will prevail

Unwavering power
The warrior chants
Impenetrable fortress erected
The child no longer affected

She takes full control
Capable of rescuing herself
She will grow and learn
Never again, pushed over the edge
