Why do you punish yourself
When you have done no bad
Your life has been a battleship
With no fun had
Why can you not forget
And grow with your everyday
Cause you were punished every minute
In every possible way
How can you bare these memories
And keep on soldiering on
Because you are a survivor
And you know You do belong
How strong is your big heart
To push through the daily grind
When your mind was neverfocused
You never could unwind
How sad it is you blame yourself
For your life of hell
You've kept it all inside
To ashamed... to tell
I saw your words blaming
All I could do was ask why
You being so sure you had done wrong
Just made me want to cry
So please do not blame yourself
What... Did you do wrong
A healthy young child
Who just wanted to belong
You Do belong... Honest!
It's just some do not know how to love
These not fit to have family
They just blame, just push and shove
So love you... for who you are
Be proud, Stand tall and grow
You give to others each day
There will be a new tomorrow

Beautiful poem Lyn. I agree with you, why to blame self for the mistakes never committed. Just by blaming self one is putting low. Why to walk with head down, walk with head half high. Thoughtful write. In fact a motivating poem for all of us, including me Lyn. There are times I blamed myself. I was forced by others to see myself in that way. In one sense I am too a victim, pained a lot from inside. Though I know I was never at fault. To be frank it took all charm of my life itself. Just alive, I feel many times. Thoughtful write, loved reading it. Thanks for sharing.

A lovely self motivating poem, advising to come out from any harassment and don't get demotivated by any external force. Be proud, Stand tall and grow ...........Thanks for sharing
People who are abused or unnecessarily blamed by others carry a deep hurt inside which slowly leads to self pity and self mortification which is absolutely tragic! To get out of it needs self effort and sometimes even expert guidance! When one is not at at fault, there is no need for a withdrawal....or sense of guilt or self reproach! As Geetha has put it, hold ones head high and face the world with confidence! Great write Lyn which will definitely soothe people in similar distress!
A poem with fabulous rhyme-scheme. Like your conversational style.

For anybody who has been mentally abused this superb write goes deep to dissolve the self blame game, I have experience of been bullied and I used to feel it must be my fault. I love this wise and uplifting write that gives the victims power to hold their heads up high!
