Can't get rid of all these cries
Can't stand all these lies

I look in the mirror
And what do I see?
Fragments and pieces
Of what used to be me.

These feelings of hate
I can not ignore
I don't even know
Who I am anymore.

He's turned me into
This distorted reflection
I need to turn back
Go the other direction

But his grip is to tight
His hold is to strong
I'm locked in a place
Where I don't belong.

I need to turn back
I need to remind
Myself
Of the girl I left behind [comments] => 3 [counter] => 260 [topic] => 65 [informant] => shorty20 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )

The Girl I Left Behind

His hold is to strong
I'm locked in a place
Where I don't belong.

I need to turn back
I need to remind

How I relate to this.I,m glad you too got out of it.It's the control of the mind that's the worst and you don't know just how controlling until you break free.I hope you , like me have found a warm and loving relationship.I say thanks every day for the love I now have.A thought provoking poem, well written , Ros

Very beautiful poem . Has a great rhyme to it. Love the inspiration that good memories can bring to the present misery. Makes me think of the little girl in me.
