Pain like a razor rips through me
At the thought of you
Being subjected to
The cage
There is a rage that needs to come
Along with the powerful vocalization
Of the simple word
‘No’
As we fight hard to hold onto our
Knowing of our own goodness
There is a person filled with shame and bad blood
That wants to find a place to put this pain
And sometimes
Just for the sake of it
They will use you
And you will never know it was never ever ever
Really about you
May even have been all about
Some long ago pain
Now forgotten
Hidden deep
Or covered over with corruption
Its not a sin you are angry
There is an authentic part of you that just
Instinctively knows the truth
Of what hurts
So listen please
And do not consent to being hurt
By the ignorance
And deep unconsciousness
Of others
(I love the quote I chose to head this with and it may seem to conflict with the anger mentioned in my poem but when we have lacked boundaries for most of our life our anger may be intense as we first come to learn what really hurt us that others chose to invalidate within us..
In time our that fire of our anger will not rage but become a constant flame burning deep inside of us, lighting up the path to travel, the need of our soul
My friend, I just read your comment and I want you to know that I understand why you can become so angry. It is hard if you have no one to trust, I know that I am blessed. It wasn’t always so that I had some one I could count on in my life. When you have had a truly tragic childhood the pain is so deep and there can be triggers everywhere. I have found over the years not to put expectations on Christmas in terms of family, I am blessed because I have my daughter and grandchildren now, but my sisters I don’t even talk to them. We put up a manger and some pine and watch a service. We order something from a restaurant and watch movies. This takes a lot of the pressure off of me at Christmas. I am so sorry this was such a difficult one for you. I am praying for you and hope that you know you truly matter and there are people that do care about you. I don’t have to tell you how much God loves and cares about you. I pray you have a peaceful day and know that I love you and am giving you a big squeeze from here. xoxoxoxo

I’m really okay Joni something shifted in me last night. I had a burger in my car on Christmas day. Family close by chose to ignore or msybe devalue me I am not sure which. I’m trying not to be egoic but some people just don’t get us which I guess we have to find a,way to weather with good grace. I am glad you have all those loved ones. Sadly I aborted 6 babies but I have noticed over the past year very lovely people who truly care coming into my life like you, so I will focus on that now and on so doing try to find the very best of comfort and peace that I can. I love you darling lady and am so so deeply grateful you reached out to me and are in my life. Peace blessings for a 2022 filled with love joy smiles and beauty π»ππ¦π·ππ Deborah xoxox
