REFLECTIONS OF MY BEATEN DOWN PAST


Reflections of my beaten down  past 

why do you make your way back? 
Oh sad dreams, that never fade
I don't know why you come back my way
my heart of love is with me 
my heart of pain needs me
my heart of need protects me 
I only change the pain that cut's me deep within
when my heart becomes week 
I ask my God Jehovah to help me 
I hold no doubts darkness stands in fount of me 
in my past old love had hurt me fast
in his heart I didn't seem to matter 
broken is what I once was
lost I once walked into the dark with a brokenhearted
my soul had once gone cold 
love I didn't hold 
I felt my spirit had left me 
the pain felt as if I had been cut by a knife 
I wasn't free from the pain 
while others had been standing about calling me names
I traveled deep within my soul 
when love was once all I had known 
once upon a time I had no life
the past of the seed of darkness kept me to bleed
oh haunted dreams comes over me
in those days of sadden ways
on the gave posts the faith of the brave
I do write the picture of life.

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the80's, 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery / Judy Emery
