Blue Skies

Can you see the pain in my eyes?
Behind the sparkle, under the lids
troubles & terror and a scared little kid
What did I do to deserve such a plight?
Young, scared, unable to fight
for if I spoke up and if I said no
Concern for me no one would show
Who could I trust? Who would help me?
Only one way of coping could I see
I must create for myself what others
would not -
A secret happy life, a private safe spot
I searched desprately, uncertain I'd find
Someone to love me and nurture my mind
But out of the darkness and out of the rain
Came a man to rescue me and help with my pain
It has taken many years, but now I can see
The blue skies above and
that love surrounds me

hmm... an unlikely ending, one with optimism... interesting. i wasn't expecting that!

this stood out for me: "Only one way of coping could I see
I must create for myself what others
would not -"

wow. that sounds like you're enduring something that others are too afraid to even look at.

good stuff =)

thank you for your comments! this poem is for my husband - he is my rock and my support and he is helping me work through the pain of abuse.

This is beautiful!!! I love how the ending is so hopeful. I'm glad that you have your husband to love and support you; it sounds like you two truly have a wonderful relationship!
