Breaking through from insecurity to security and getting rid of baggage that held me back for years.

Blue skies.

Tangled lies.

I see your eyes

in the skies

entangled in lies.

All is blue through and through,

for that is who you are

tried and true.

The world I would have given to you,

but, will now be for some other fool.

Never a response

to a touch or glance.

Never a dance or romance.

Monotony is all that we share,

and I no longer care to care.

I’ve been breaking away bit by bit,

though you have failed to see it.

I’ve been growing in wisdom

from the many lives I have perused,

and all the times that I have been abused.

A woman I have become.

A new life has begun.

It is time to meet the rising sun.

When I’m done, I’m done.

It took me a while to break through

all the hurt and doubt.

Now it’s time to see

what this dame is all about.

    DB – WOW…what a startling revelation as this “dame” – a new woman – breaks free from the stranglehold of abuse and neglect that has dogged her for much too long. This is one of your most powerful poems that I can recall reading and I haven’t missed any since meeting up with you as a friend here. I am totally amazed…you just keep getting better and better and the bar keeps getting set higher and higher…totally amazing. Thanks.
