Guarded stance so no regret
Like water taking shape
Memories making waves

Crashing down, and it wont let
Me catch my breath nor forget
Reliving every rape
All the tears and close shaves

But if I could, you can bet
Hit a button, press reset
Each mental cut and scrape
Perverted things one craves

Every tear shed and night sweat
Turn fear into an asset
Wear courage like a cape
Free all your little slaves.

So beautifully written but very sad.
Focus on those here that missed and love you.
You made my day and I pray you are here to stay.

I hope life treats you kind and that you know this is your second home. I/'/m so happy you are back!

How I have missed your poetry!
This thunders with powerful emotions and hits us like a hammer. It is a reminder that life can be like that.
Writing can reveal us, and you have never been shy to speak your heart. I hope you will stay and share your gift with us again.
Your work is unique and sincere. So rare.
