WALK AWAY

LIZ


Notice of absence from LIZ
PEACE, LOVE, LIGHT!


It seemed simple; take a step, there's nothing to it, it's what they said. And so I wandered why I stayed, my heart felt heavy, it wasn't safe. My mind a fog, I couldn't tell, if who I was gave me an edge; or if I simply got in shape, from running laps around my cell.  

 

Every strike, all the pain, made me question my own strength. All the nights filled with rain, felt like love was just a fake. Because, how could I confess, when my voice was shut with tape? Tell me, what did you expect from a person left for dead? 

 

Walk away, have some faith, I kept hearing voices yell. And I wanted to forget, follow them, or find a way. All these orders, out of place, so inadequate, the shame. 

 

Yes, of course I finally left; but the process was intense! And although I have escaped, there are ripples and effects. The reminders, the remains, the untouched, the unfelt; the unanswered, the unheard; left a broken soul to mend!!

        Love is blind and that is one sure thing it is only when we walk away for good and have time to reflect we can then see how awful it was to be there. I felt this and all I can say this is the fall out of doubt and the love when you have no other choice than to leave to protect yourself. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

          This is so true my lovely Teddy!!! And by then, unfortunately, the damage is done; and all we can do is mend!!! But, that gives us so much strength, power, understanding!!! Thank you! I appreciate you!! 💖💖💖💖

            What is left is strength and development also triumph because to be able to do it in the first place takes a lot of courage. ❤️
