There comes a time when we have to realize that we need to take action. That people only have power over us if we allow them to, and we can take the power they have over us back-because it is our power to begin with, so take your power back.

Desperate, exhausted. Lost and completely broken.
Deep, dark, disturbing and unstable within.
Uncharted, dangerous, without light or a hint given.
A journey before your eyes, unfolds.
The last test now begins.
Avoiding temptations, laid out for me as if bait.
My entire life has been built up for this moment,
No longer can I wait.
Excluded, alone, cautiously I hide.
Shaking, knowing I’ve only got so much time left to ride.
Slowing now as everything around me becomes dense.
Confusion overtakes me, now nothing makes any sense.
Everything once held sacred and true,
In a moments sadness was stolen by you.
For so long I’ve been tormented, weak,
You always made me feel small and meak
Foolishly I’d my heart given to you,

It is no longer yours i’m requesting that back too.

No longer over me will you tower,
I’m taking it back, all my strength and power.
The smiles and joy that you stripped all away.
I’m tearing out of your hands,
And I’m taking it all back today.

    Your aggression towards the wrongdoers seems to come out quite well. You are very determined to express yourself and do a smash up job! Simply brilliant !!!

    Hi Melody. This is a good attempt at showing what it’s like to wrestle back your personal rights. I like it. Thanks for sharing.

    You go girl, we all should have and control what belongs to ourself. Your pride is always your own stand tall and walk proud.
    No one but you can control you. Love this poem it speaks loud and clear and with true meaning. Bertie
