I’m broken
I didn’t think I could be
not even through years when love was withheld
I persevered
I survived.
I’m broken
I didn’t think I could be
not through physical abuse and death threats
I overcame
I survived.
I’m broken
I didn’t think I could be
not even through your lies and betrayal
I forgave and looked forward
I survived.
I’m broken
I didn’t think I could be
but my will is non-existent
my heart unrepairable
I may not survive.
I’m broken
I didn’t think I could be
I pray for light
in the darkness
that has become my soul.
I'm broken
I didn't think I could be
I looked inward for answers
and found that the monster
was me.

Nice twist!
And yes, I will be participating.
Have to watch that monster as it creeps out from within.
Loved this. Sorry not to participate though.
Hi Renee,
Intense... to say the least. As always, packed with emotion and self awareness. Well done! I am HOPING to finish my entry soon... taking longer than I expected. Fingers crossed.
I like it! Very good ending. I always remind myself that if everyone is acting like an ass, the problem is probably with me, not them. LOL
Looking inward always provides more exhaustive and relevant answers than looking outward. And I suspect a lot of humans could say 'the monster is me' with perfect truth!
Wow! Super, kiddo.
