my soul
emerges cleansed
purged.....
of remembrances so needed
of the past....
the terrors of childhood
become solace....
a balm for the little girl
growing into herself.....
a womanhood long overdue
and given too soon.....
with the passage of a film-like memory....
for the first time come the reasons....
revelations of answers pour through
my mind
as the waters cool my fevered struggles....
and for the first time....
there is anger.....
ire of stolen innocence...
torn away for another's purpose....
creating a need.....
a lifelong desire beyond comprehension....
a void beyond satiation.....
the pain....
desire.....
quest.....
never died....
only memories since the purpose fulfilled....
then cast aside.....
only memories
until the anger......... [comments] => 6 [counter] => 202 [topic] => 13 [informant] => jaeann [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

WATERFALL

As the healing waters pour over my body....
my soul
emerges cleansed
purged.....

of the past....
the terrors of childhood

and given too soon.....
with the passage of a film-like memory....
for the first time come the reasons....

Yes get angry..Let out the demons that try to eat you and then you can begin to heal..though GOD knows how any soul can ever truly heal from these kind of wounds..I wish you so much sunshine..starting today :)
Hang in there..I can tell from your writings that you are a strong one..and thats a start. ;)

You deserve to be angry...you were wronged...let it go so you can heal and go on I see a strength in you and a beautiful spirit...I believe you will find the way to joy.

Most beautiful waterfall I've ever experienced Jayme. Your soul is like one great big boil now. It's all coming to a head....let it fester and let it drain of all the pus of your past and no past.....then when you have drained it completely.....it will heal over.....and you can do a great "restart" atlast!
I love you,
Connie

be angry as long as you need too, burn with your words, get madder and madder, scream, yell till its gone for a day, and then maybe two. don`t let them still rape you. Crow
