[hometext] => Re-post. This was written for a man who put me through alot of pain and suffering for a long period of time which came to an end when he'd gone a bit too far. I had chosen to visit him in prison. This poem is a result of my feelings upon my return home. When I began writing this, it was in a fit of anger but by the end it gave me a sense of strength - it still does
[bodytext] => I looked into your eyes today
and I saw a different person No longer so confident Your spirit is now broken, So unhappy, so dismayed Oh dear, what a bloody shame! I am sorry but I have to say, You deserve a life of pain You broke my spirit too, you see The way you used to torture me Now that justice has been served You experience much of the same. The tables have been turned. Each night, when you lay to sleep know that there is no escape know how it feels to be locked away confined within a small space with nowhere to run, nowhere to hide with nothing but fear at your side. May you awake several times with sweat pouring from your brow May it cause you to scream out loud May it leave you sat up in bed wondering if you are better off dead I can watch you suffer now You get what you deserve in life.. what goes around, comes around! Now I am strong, no longer weak I no longer tremble when we speak My heart may be damaged, but it is far from broken I can now rid myself of you, of the torture unspoken. My life, I have now rediscovered and the person I once was, still remains ...full of joy and free from pain For, you see, I have regained everything you lost along the way I have my dignity, and my pride I now have freedom, and friends by my side!
