Darkness Within Myself

Darkness within myself I hide from fear fear to whom maybe my mother brothers my abuser I hide within myself no where to run I hide in the closet I cry and I cry no one can hear not even my mother brother my abuser what should I do tried many times to run and to run knowing what's to come when I return home my mother ready behind the door what would she have in her hand a belt wooden spoon what fear to look for within myself I hide many times in my closet no one can see me I so skinny no one knows where to look I can hear them call my name Anna where are you Anna it's supper many times I miss supper it wasn't important to me food oh well I won't miss a day of eating no one really cares if I'm at the table or not all I know family isn't the life for me negative and hate no love no trust empty nest of sorrows with the family I have who knew God gave my mother a daughter to love instead all it is to her is hate after hate I tried and I tried to do the best I can nothing seems to please her what is it with her I look up to the sky and ask God why oh why I'm a girl with four brothers why was I chosen to be a girl the only one in the family a family of hate unwanted love no one cared no understand what life should be all I know in time I needed to get away for the purpose to survive a life to wonder only person that cared in my life time my loving Grandmother which we call her in Italian Nonna for Grandmother she was the life she was the love to who I was she gave the basic love taught me who I should be but still deep inside I learn to hate shame dislike myself to who I am I blame myself for being born into this World that is so big and wide I kept to myself no friends empty nest of nothing I spare the moments in my room that's all I had four walls to look at growing up does anyone out there understand does anyone understand the meaning of being depress the word depress means many option and detail of a person I found out many years ago as an adult I suffer from trauma mental illness my illness I will tell Bipolar I have many other illness do to being abuse life seems so hate full for 45yrs now 47yrs old almost 2yrs now January 27, 2013 will be the actually date of positive outlook to who I am I've learn to love myself within my own spiritual way the outlook came from someone dear to me a love that came so dear so close who knew I would find a soul mate so far yet so close he gave me the life life to live for not to be afraid he open the door show me the way what life should be he game me the option to be who I am like always and wanted so dearly for the years that gone by life change to who I am cause of him he gave me the love that is so simple and basic it took that long to found that true love I ask myself once again how did I manage to fight within myself became something more for myself and to give what is given to me help I got I took I kept on going the skills to understand now I am brave I have someone beside me telling me do not fear I am hear for you he came me the option to take what is given he gave me all and still does until this day love came to me for real no lie no false pretend what a man should be he is the original man that is raised by a fine beautiful mother and father and family wise what a Blessing to find out never been love that way in my life time it is amazing what life can turn out to be I am who I am until this day I stand tall and proud of my man he makes me look amazing every time I'm near him I see all within him so within myself I don't run I don't hide I don't cry all I know is obstacle I fought came a life time of happiness to express my thought's in many ways to who I am today Darkness within myself is within the light of a man who gave me the tools to find what life is all about love and life now 47yrs old
