How often does one go on tormenting one's self? When is enough...enough? Who should we ask....who should we tell?
Fear is a horrible thing that can paralyze your very being and numb your mind to nothingness. Yet you don't see it, nor do you acknowledge it, for it has become a way of life for so many poor souls out there. A life that seems normal to them, for their mind has been manipulated and moulded into believing this. Very often, by the one that is supposed to love them the most, their partner, their mother, their father, brother or sister. Does it really matter who?
There's nowhere to run nor anywhere to hide because they will find you. Besides where are you going to run after having hidden this fear for so long. Who would believe you or at least that is what you've been led to believe.
Anyone out there that knows what I'm speaking about...yes you...listen to me, please. It's the first step that's the most difficult and believe me it's the scariest step you will ever take, but once you've taken it you will find an abundance of help out there. There is no shame in taking someone's outstretched hand and letting them know that you may need help.
I know you've been led to believe that there's nothing wrong with the treatment you are receiving right now. That one hit...that one nasty name...that one discustingly filthy act you were forced to do or share. I say one because it only takes once.....and even once is too much! You don't deserve it and believe me when I say that if you take that first scary step, there will always be someone waiting there to help or to get you help.
No matter how scary it is...can it honestly be as bad as what it is now....the fear you feel when you see that look that tells you it's coming.....the slew of degrading name calling....the lovemaking that's more like rape than just the nasty sex that it is....the taste of blood in your mouth and the feeling of the welts swelling all over your body from the beatings. The fear you feel each time you open the door to your own home.
Listen to me please....take that first step you dread so much and I assure you you'll never turn back. I'm not saying you won't be scared having to learn how to live all over again, but you will never again have to feel that horrible discusting feeling in the pit of your stomach each and every time you think of home because that's not what will be waiting for you.
Once you take that step....ask for help...a neighbour...a church...a fireman....a police officer, your boss. It doesn't really matter because you could stop a stranger on the street and believe me they will help you. I know.......

THINK ABOUT IT!
Judge not is what has been said, yet on a daily basis people judge without understanding their judgements or even acknowleding them. How unfortunate that they can not act as they preach.
Judgement comes in many forms....verbal....thought....image. How often do you hear someone complaining about how someone dresses, talks, walks or acts. These are things that make each person an individual and yet...there are those that critisize these same things when discussing someone. How thoughtless.
It is not up to someone to talk, dress, act or walk the way people expect it of them. That is simply hypocracy. If I have to dress to please you, to walk the way you want me to walk, to talk as you do, then I might as well become you and not develope my own person.
People wake up!!! Even Jesus didn't judge Mary, instead he took her hand and said "let he among you that is without sin cast the first stone" Take it easy people...there is more to worry about on this planet then how someone dresses, acts, speaks walk...etc. Instead of judging your neighbour, hold their hand and look for a way to save the starving children, stop the oil leaks that are killing so many birds, fish mammels. Find a way to stop prejudice of religion, race or sex. Make certain our children are well cared for and protected from violence within the home and on our streets.
What's wrong with you people!!! Wake up and take our serious problems in hand rather than to sit their judging something that's really not hurting any of you.
People must unite as one! People must stop fretting over meaningless things and begin to worry about what is truly hurting our planet, our atmosphere our children, our people as a whole. Unite and become one!

MEZMERIZED
I think of you and my heartbeat suddenly quickens as I gasp a slight, almost silent breath. A smile slowly forms upon my lips as I reflect over subtle, tiny gestures you've managed to let escape your ever so protected soul.
We both know it's there, yet neither of us dare to allow the thought to go any further. It's almost as if we're terrified that something or someone may infiltrate our thoughts and burst our tiny, little bubble.
So many years have come and gone riddled with good and bad, happiness and sadness...love and hate. But we've managed to overcome it all and now we are where we are....silently smiling to ourselves and the knowledge that we remain mezmerized by one another.
Everyday now is a blessing and every moment shared in one anothers company is a gift that we each cherish in our own way. People are correct when they state that we don't have what others do. It's just so unfortunate that they can't see what we do have together.
Sometimes I feel they may be jealous of how precious what we have is and the rest of the time I think they may just be dumbfounded at not having seen it earlier. But that's ok....because we know what we share....and that is what is important. That and the fact that after all these years we can still remain mezmerized by one another.
My heart is within your hands as yours is within mine. I will embrace it and care for it....love it and comfort it for however long you allow me to....as I know you will be doing the same. They may not understand....but that's ok because love is not supposed to be understood. It's supposed to be experienced, cherished and embraced forever....not analyzed.
