Measure Of Peace And Love Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Living in a world of love I've never had in this life, wishing
with all my heart that I had, always being alone, no one here
for me.

A lifetime of wishing and dreaming for a love of my very own,
but it will never be, for I've been tarnished by a demon, tak-
ing everything from me from the very beginning.

Always wondering why life has abandoned and left me cold and
alone, nothing to ever help nor give comfort all the days of
this life.

A solitary entity on this wide world of earth, nothing to be
given, not even necessities to help live, an outcast by all
respects, no one ever wanting or loving my being.

Living in the dark, away from love and joy, no happiness coming
my way, just an ordinary person with no one to care about me
ever.

Silenced by the evil that has struck when younger, never able to
get past it, keeping me captive in shame and humiliation all the
days of my life.

A life full of promise, hope, joy and it has remained crushed by
the evil done, I alone am not connected to it's evil, I'm still precious, innocent and pure in spite of all it's done to me.

If only one person would come and love me for who I am, taking me
into their life totally and unconditionally once and for all, I'd
be forever grateful.

All this love being held inside would be theirs forever and ever
in this world, maybe giving a measure of peace and love to this
being until dying.
