A poem I wrote and posted on an old blog site…
More than once I have been asked, if I were to live my life over, go through all the those bumps and stumbles, pains and hurts, trips and falls one more time, what part would I skip. And every time I would give the same answer – NONE!
Yes, I have gone through a lot,
But with every experience I learned…
with every pain I learned to accept what is thrown at me;
with every hurt I learned to be strong for myself more than for anyone else;
with every tear I learned to value and treasure each smile and each laughter;
with every smile I learned to appreciate every moment spent with loved ones;
with every embrace I learned to recognize my own fragility;
and with every learning I came to be who I am now…
I am who I am, from the way I act and react to the way I think and feel, aged and matured because of experience more than the years.
And I have all of you to thank…
you who have been part of my past…
you who have inflicted me with pain, sorrow, despair, misery…
you who have given me happiness, joy, excitement, pleasure…
you who have taught me to be strong, to fight, to concede, to yield…
you whom I have loved, served, hurt, ignored…
I have learned my life lessons from all of you, and I will never have it any other way.
So, thank you.
Stuck, in a place where I cannot move…
Only wishing to be free from pain; to be happy
Lost, can’t find my way forward or back…
Only hoping to be able to find my way home
Confused, not knowing where to go
Only longing to be where I could be wanted
Limbo, a state of oblivion
A place that’s neither here nor there
Transition, a passing from one point to the next
A situation where you’ve neither left nor arrived
Uncertain, a description of how I see my future
A vague hope that it’s neither without you nor without us
Let your touch be mine to keep for always
Thank you
For everything that you’ve done for me
Thank you
For teaching me to be independent
Learned to do things on my own
Learned to go places by myself
Learned to wake up in the middle of the night without you beside me
Learned to go to bed alone without you there to talk to
Learned to sleep by myself not looking for a warm body to hug
Thank you
For teaching me to be strong
Learned to fend for myself
Learned to defend myself
Learned to not care about what others would think about me
Learned to hold my head high despite the tears
Learned to create a life for myself since didn’t feel I was part of yours
Thank you
For teaching me to be a fighter
Learned to fight the urge to cry
Learned to fight away the tears
Learned to fight the longing I feel for you
Learned to fight the loneliness of not being with you
Learned to fight the yearning of being your girl again
Thank you
Strength is learning how to see things from a different perspective, no matter how hard.

to hear
the silent cries
of intensified feelings
bursting
exploding
wanting to be heard
to see
the blinding beauty
of glowing radiance
pining
yearning
wanting to be noticed
to utter
the mute testimonials
of unspoken adulation
shouting
screaming
wanting to be told
to sense
the numbing touch
of passionate desires
sneaking
foreboding
wanting to be aroused
hear my words
see my presence
speak my name
feel my love
for i am yours
