Haven

Ridicule. shame. at the hand of others.
break this chain of endless persecution.
left with feelings of hopelessness.
never feeling wanted. always left alone.
to wonder what's to come of them.
always left by myself.
i look to you for approval.
but it always ends up......
seeing myself as an individual
helps me see the value of me...of life
to love...to love
(this time is mine)
my heart is stronger than your weak words.
