Hidden behind forgiving eyes Head in the clouds, gaze to the skies Now that demons no longer haunt my dreams New realization plays out in scenes
Kindness abused countless times, so many ways Same old scenario continually replays Always at fault, always taking the blame And ok with it, like it was my part in a game
Stretched thin without complaint to help all in need Yet one human error labels me demon seed Still I said nothing, always let it go Well no longer blind, the betrayal does show
Never asking questions, happy sacrificial lamb One would think someone would give a damn As long as I take the fall, why worry? But rush to my aid, never in a hurry
I shall not argue, nor fight for my pride Only acknowledge I'm not longer on this ride I see what was done and I'll be damned before I fall victim to this act anymore.

Sarah there are so many powerful emotions in this write. I hear sadness and defeat within the lines. I hate to see you hurt and feeling this way, though this poetry is spellbinding and so haunting. Hugs to you my friend, know we love you, I wish we lived closer, I really do sigh .... one day maybe .... fantastic words, even though sad, seemingly from your core. I hope you feel better honey, K xxxxxx

The strength in this ending is like a cleansing waterfall's shower, Sarah. Though helplessness and sadness recognition came first, with a little contempt, the ending shows empowerment. There's no need to fight for pride because it is already found. The once-victim has emerged and won. You write with apparent honesty, regardless of the color. Bravo! H x
