Lessons beat into my heart
Left alone, blind in the dark
Lost and beat
Beat
I’m hardened, disregarded
Defiled in
My ugly sin, wearing
And tearing, at my soul
There has got to be more
Than loneliness
Dreams of light, in my sight, not alright
It’s so misplaced
And still missing
I hear screaming coming from nowhere
Pleaded pardon, disheartened
Betrayed in
Lovely skin, cowering
With nothing more to hide
See me, standing freely
My charming gentle lies
See me, standing freely
Exquisite, sad goodbyes
Shell de Toni 
The hurts of expectation render the reflected darkened in a mirror of light. If one cannot see one’s self as mighty they give their power away.

Thank you. Sometimes the words flow so easily. At other times it’s more difficult to write poetry. I find is a hit and miss. Lol….
