We are crossing the point of no return.
But there are to many things we have had to learn.
So turn around and come back.
There are a lot of things we still lack.
But take your time because I want to remember this.
I want to feel this bliss.
I want to remember this clearly.
I want to hold this moment so dearly.

We are crossing,
There's no return...

Don't forget to be quite because they might hear us.
Don't look because they might see us.
Don't speak because they will only ignore us.
Don't think because they control us.

Didn't you know?
I thought you knew.

So run as fast as you can.
They try to command.
At least touch the line.
At least we have our spines.
We went on our way.
Because we are not afraid...

And we won't fade.
There is such a thing as suppression and i hate it.

Darkness, silence
I hear them trying to break in.
Forcing my will to bend.
It was silent there was nothing.
I would have loved to hear something.
But there was nothing.
You were gone and so was my sight.
And you had my light.
It was my guide.
Now there is no one by my side.
I can't seem to walk without stepping on glass.
Can't manage to see what I pass.
And they saw my weakness.
I felt so helpless.
And I needed to stop, for that way lies madness.
I have nothing a can salvage.
So tell me where are you now.
And what happened to your vow.
These ragged roads caused me to stumble.
My armor began to crumble.
I'm scared of pain, hurt and loss.
I'm scared of what it cost.
With you is where I felt safe.
And now I wonder if I could go on without you holding me up.
And it's funny because I thought I would never have to depend on anyone.
Was a lost scared kid when i wrote this.

Don't settle for less.
You're worth so much more than this.
If he treats you like ****.
He ain't worth it.
And the words that hes been speaking.
Burns deeper than skin.
You need to walk away from him.
Don't be consumed with the need to be loved
Because...
This isn't love.
Don't let him grip you and swallow you whole.
He will leave you with only pain to toll.
And you know deep in your soul.
That he's got you right where he wanted you.
Like the perfect trap for a fly.
That he caught in a web of lies.
A poem of empowerment to women abused or not. Empowerment!

Yea you
Say that things will look up.
Cause I won't give up.
We're here... Breathing. But how do we come to life?
To know would be nice.
And I gotta pull throw.
To show them what i can do.
I won't be too ******* myself.
No, not anymore.
Yea you
You feel for what?
To hurt.
But I won't.
I don't have time to feel.
I wouldn't know how to heal.
The weaker we get the stronger they seem.
And you, yea you were a dream.
That wouldn't come true.
Not even when I said I love you.
I saw.
Nothing more than a memory
And now, nothing at all.
A poem i wrote during very tough times in my life.

— The End —
