You can’t see my scars For they are not physical Mine run deep like the ocean Into voids of the unknown Born from the identity of others But left to rot along the way Like so many abandoned kids Trying to find their way in the dark No one to guide them Living their life One mistake at at time Until something beckons them to be better To survive the ridicule And emerge greater only for their own well being It maybe a person a sport an idea That incites their survival instinct Who knows ...... But you have to be kind to yourself And understand sometimes Your direction is but the reaction of others And destiny can only be resurrected Once you see through the fog Others call life .........

About this poem:
This just for all the people out there that have history their not so proud of but strive to be the better version of themselves ....... they make no excuses and accept what fate has dealt them realising their destiny is but a reaction to what has happened in their lives .......,, may they be blessed
Each of us has our own journey to walk - some harder then others. Some make overcome and some do not. So thankful had a good family background in my walk. Thanks for sharing Nu.
Powerful poem ! I was a forgotten child . I learned to be what I call functional by watching family tv shows ,that had positive experiences in them .I took those tv shows with me into my adult life .
Hi Lily ..........guilt is a burden to big to bare sometimes ........ the sooner you can learn to forgive the sooner you move on but it does haunt you ........and there are always repercussions that can add to the load ........Thanks for your thoughts ......regards Nu
