~ Out of the Pain

 

The hurt DIDN’T make me stronger –

I fell through the cracks in my character

‘Til someone cared enough to pull me out

Out of my years lost to the pain

The anger, the stages of mourning

All consuming guilt of survival;

~ Triumphant ~ Haiku

 

Rising from the ruins
Charred embers of lessons learned
Optimistic eyes

Too Late

Fool! All that time you had to tell him,
All those ways to show you care.
What exactly did you think would
Happen, if your soul you did lay bare?
