The power within

Angry, broken, sad and confused,
Hurt and lost
With way to many memories,
Of all of the abuse

I punch and kick,
I Claw and I scream
At the emotional and physical,
Walls that surround me.

Tired of fighting
Tired of the past,
Used to being alone
My tears run cold
My heart-beat slows

At the epi-center of a hurricane I stand,
Lashed by winds that scream continuously at me,
��You�re worthless! You are nothing, will never be anything!��
My skin-whipped raw by the pelting rain,
Hitting so hard
My skin turns red all over again

The power of the storm,
That I have created,
Runs rampant inside of me now
Trying to tear me limb from blood-red limb,
Trying to shatter my being.

This is my power,
My greatest strength
My greatest ally,
As well as my strongest demon

To conquer it
I must embrace it all,
My past, my present and the future too

That�s so very hard to do,
When your so scared of losing it all,
Of not being strong enough to continue,
Walking along,
This strange path
That I appear to have found myself on.

I have the power to shine,
As well as the power to self-destruct,
Who do you trust,
When you have no one to trust?
