Where were you?

By darkangel

Where were you when I was curled up alone, trying to cry some sense into these demons?
Where were you when these chocolate colored walls  became my most important conversations?
Where were you when I realized the dreams I had let go of, were the ones that included you?
Where were you when I felf the dreams I'd left in the cold, were the ones I was picking up & claiming once again?
Where were you when????
You're here now, after I decided that you shouldn't be, and this has turned into a hellish nightmare with no end.
I was all alone during my battles.
The ugliest demons in me made you run, and I learned a lot from that.
But mostly, I learned that I don't need you.
I don't need you to help me fight one damn thing!!!

  • A former member wrote: "Where were you?" Cowardly hiding in the shadows watching you fight those battles alone. As would be my reply anyways. I'm glad you learned your strength, nice expression.

    I like the strength within your voice here and the derogatory questioning makes it dig even deeper. Nicely inked!
