Forgive me this. Its very basic and I’m so tired but needed to get it out somehow:
Someone took my ease away
Won’t be the same again
Someone thought it was their right
to make me feel this pain.Someone took my strength away
so threatened by its power
jibes and snide remarks all day
with no respite for hoursSomeone took my peace away
and screwed it up so tight
that even if i find it
I will never be quite right.Someone took my rest away
sleep seems to be my past
lying with my eyes tight shut
the night just lasts and lasts.Someone took the ‘Safe’ away
i just can’t shake the fear
that if i sleep for just a while
I’ll wake to find him here. -

Wow, so powerful and meaningful; can imagine you sitting there instead of stressing thinking about how to put how you feel and what this has done into words. Much better for you. I think doing things like this really helps us to process how we feel in a safe way, a way that enriches us, that gives back to us. Could hear every word x

Very well put. That was me in the past but just wanted you to know that you can and will heal from this. Perhaps try a poem about healing and a bright future x one step at a time x

It’s absolutely beautiful Whosthatgirl 😌
I can relate to that feeling of safety gone, I am still working very hard to feel safe again…I think when it will be back, everything else will be alright too.
I don’t have troubles with the nights anymore because I received sleeping pills which took my nightmares and insomnia away, it just knock me out so beautifully, I started to look forward for the peaceful nights. Now I don’t need the sleeping pills anymore 🙂😴 -

That is a powerful poem. Thank you. I have come back on here because I keep having nightmares about my ex, even though I am tucked up in bed with my new partner who is a lovely person and I am enjoying a new life free from abuse. I woke the other day feeling petrified after the dream I had where I was being hunted by my ex who was trying to harm me. I agree with your poem- I don’t feel totally safe even though I probably am. I had a long rambling message recently from the ex when I stupidly went back on social media. Chilled me to the bone to think that after such a long period of no contact, I am still on his mind. Probably where the nightmare came from I guess. I am off social media again now. It’s just not worth the risk.x
