Unraveling Abuse
Poems upon poems
Words coming out like songs
Twisting and rhyming out of our beaten and broken hearts
Poems trying to un-twist and unravel the abuse written in us from birth
Telling us that we are the crazy ones
Carved in our souls that we are nothing more than a dumpster to be filled with all or their unwanted words and things
Beating down everything for which our heart sings
Trying to grasp the concept of the deeply woven threads of abuse
With habits of dysfunctionality and fear, still there after years and years of trying to reverse
Impossible to get because there is no logic
Impossible to salvage because what use is barbed wire covered in ripped up skin
What use is a relationship where there is nothing but poison to sip.
Oh what revelations poems can give.
