My day has been so long as these struggles in my life are hard,
Working through each step of this fight I now have in my life.
They’re trying to take from me for the pain I endured on their land,
They accept responsibility but refuse to to admit the accident real.
Repair the problem then deny the trauma has existed,
To work so very hard for the years, sacrifice body and mind.
Their backs are turned on you now, their eyes look away,
You become to them a friend no more, they wish you go away.
I am not as before with a body of unwanted agony for sure,
I become the enemy but it is I’ve done nothing wrong.
They try to punish, to make me the monster instead of them,
Defeat me they will not, I have more strength and power than they know.
No time to cry, no place to hide, fight for my future life,
I’m tired as i still enjoy my time in the sun, they won’t ruin my life.
It’s been quite another day, understand as I say good night.

Poignant piece you have here Keith. How have you been? Didn’t hear from you for days. I like your strength and spirit. A good night to you. 🙂
That’s weird, i answer to you each day.
It’s night for me and loved reading this 🙂
Thanks for reading
it’s important to write down the things that cause you pain. i think what hurts us more is either burying it and pretending it’s not there, or else confiding in the wrong people and having them stab us in the back. relations at work can be hard in determining the boundaries of intimacy, since people there can influence your fate. i appreciate your sharing these feelings of vulnerability with me and the rest of your readers. and i’m also grateful that you’ve taken an interest in my blog. i’ll do my best to continue to deliver. thank you.
Thank you for reading and understanding.

I love the rawness of this, digging into the pain and slinging it back at whomever caused it with defiance… well-penned!
They will never keep us down, for we are full of tenacity and stubborn, furious vibrance!
I used to be recommended this web site by my cousin. I’m not positive whether
this submit is written by means of him as nobody else recognise such specific approximately my
problem. You are wonderful! Thank you!
Your words are sad yet tough and touch the heart.
