Scarlet ..... Poems

I’m climbing
climbing the rope you gave me
the one you threw into the darkness
the one I’ve been looking for
...

words
I’ve read so many before
but never any that made me feel like this
I’ve read words from so many different people
...

how can a parent have a child
and show no love
give not a care of that child
how can they do that
...

I will no longer be let down
or broke by any
for I have learned
the only one you can depend on
...

a symbol of change
a symbol of freedom
a symbol of light
a sign of beauty
...

where are her little helpers
those nice little mice
why is she so alone in it all
...

I don’t need your anger
or your hate
and I sure don’t need your temper
I have my own
...

I sit here
just watching
just thinking
for how long will I sit here?
...

I did it
the one thing I never wanted to do
I hurt him
for now he is scarred and broken
...

lost in numbness for years
running from pain
trapped in the freezing darkness
constantly numb
...
