Five

[Healing light]

On waste land off a back street in Glasgow
I played in the snow
Five years old
The cold
air on my face
I liked this place
As oppose to Portobello road
Where the streets overflowed
The snow had come early upsetting my father
Whereas I was rather
Hoping for snow
The glow
Of the fire burning
I was already learning
To grab those moments of joy of peace
A release ,from the confusion the shame
I'd grow up take the blame
Put it all on my shoulders , should of ran
Wasn't chained to the pain
My soul not quite slain
Fate opened the door
And I was still scared to run
But it had to be done
Made a pact
To run the gauntlet
We'd either make it or die trying
And I'd be lying
If I said I thought we would succeed
Be freed
But if I stayed
I'd of layed
Down the last piece of my soul
Given them ultimate control
I'd of been slain
To remain
void of humanity
Lacking mercy
Hopeless like them
I'd condemn
My soul to the pain
the circle would begin again
Exposed years of suffering
Completely destroying
Everything I once knew
Sometimes I wish the cold wind blew
And I was five once more
Scooping snow from the floor
On waste land in Glasgow
Where peaceful vibes flow

Sometimes I wish the cold wind blew
And I was five once more
Scooping snow from the floor
On waste land in Glasgow
Where peaceful vibes flow

That wish, I can understand that so much HL. If only you could go back to there and then.

But we can't.
If only we could skip those horrible years and all that abuse.
Strong poem.

Thanks very much Darren
People in my life don't always understand why I grieve the destruction of what was
but what we ( myself and my coabused ) destroyed was all that we knew. I'm not saying it was the wrong thing to do just that I wish I wasn't in the position where I had too.

Then others like yourself understand I'm sorry that you do. But thank you for sharing. Reminding me We are not alone

Peace
