****7 days****
Tap tap tap
pencil on the table
used to focus my thoughts
words come with reluctance.
I do not want to share.
I do not want sympathy.
I do not want to see your face shutter
unable to comprehend
unable to understand.
I want you to hear
what was done
how I rose to overcome.
Darkness turned into light
tears into smiles
blackness pushed back
as I revel in my truth.
My life.
I dance with abandon
where once I would have been afraid.
Evil pervades
stalwart
inching forward
encroaching
blocking the sunlight
blocking the truth that should have been mine.
Have you ever seen a child
dance under the sky
face lifted
eyes closed
spinning around
certain the earth will catch them
as they fall?
Have you ever seen a child
cower in the corner
eyes turned
closed
not wanting to see
not wanting to feel
desperate to disappear?
Knock on the door
pry open the block in my mind
see the vile ink
pour free.
Monsters
big
small
consumed my heart
my soul.
Now though……
I am taking it back…..
Monster Slayer Supreme.

Sympathy is such a waste of emotion. I admire you. Your strength and tenacity to overcome the blackness that you were swallowed up by is nothing short of awe inspiring. Woman you are strong and proud and I am proud to follow your journey from the inky blackness to the light. Your words move me and make me feel. thank you.

Dark side for writing is a wonderful place to be. Everything has so much more scope and colour to it. I think we should live in the light and write from the dark, best of both worlds live safely in one while dipping a toe in the other! 😀

If you look back at my darker stuff most of it is about hurting people. Lol it is how I express the rage I feel after a day of dealing with people 😂😂😂
