Topic: Strike Of A Match

With the strike of a match
Flames licking at the papers that held my words
My thoughts
My hopes
My dreams
My desires
Things that my momma had given me
Things that my Grandmother had given me
Things that my father had given me
Just things, material things
Meant nothing to you
Meant the world to me
My whole life
As short as it was
Going up in flames
All part of your plan
Keep me isolated
Cutting me off from my own family
Taking every comfort and safety away from me
Where are going
Who are you talking to
Constant questions
When I gave no reason to be questioned
Fists and feet, striking and kicking
For what reason?
Because I didn't have coffee made
Because I looked at you
Because I was me
Because I was a female
Less then you
Worthless
Garbage
In your eyes
It's been a long time now
I still don't understand why
All I can do now is move on and heal

Always keep your family close, even if they are a million miles away
keep them close in your heart. They will always be there when you need
them.

Will you ever find those answers? No but,
you must remember that it was not your fault
or anything you ever did. Those were the demons
within him and his way of letting them out. You
just happen to be in his path. :heart: For now
its just time to heal and to move on with your
life and not let his demons take over your world!
