Seeking Out The Foundations

Questions that I have for myself.

Upon

My life journey

Into womanhood

These two questions

Have plagued me.

 

What

Does it mean

To be feminine?

 

Why

Did I not

Become an abuser

Myself?

 

Questions

I have posed

In various forms

To my friends.

 

Seeking

Understanding

And answers

To my true inner self.

 

Having

Grown up

In a past filled

With violence

Both physically

And verbally.

 

While

Avoiding the hideous trap

Of illegal drugs

And alcohol

To numb and cover

My pain.

pain is covered with many things...self loathing,accepting less then you deserve,never having the guts to ask the direct right questions,these things are all hideous traps themselves...shedding them is a gift it is the most wonderful fairy tale gift but it is a gift that you have to give yourself no wrapping no bows needed just the gift of a real life
and you should expect no less!this is a wonderful emotional piece of writing
thank you for sharing

Thank you, Holly. All of my writing are, an emotional release for me. Often times, I don't know what I am writing about, until the piece starts talking to me. Usually near the end, but sometimes, after the first word has been written.
