Untold Stories by jusylee72
Freestyle:Poetry: Truth and Honesty contest entry

Some stories should not be told

     The pain is too much
        The plot is too real
           The cost is too steep


Yet,


     The story untold 
                             damages the soul
                      creates chaos in life
           relives the crime daily

Until,

  The words are spoken
     The truths are told
       The reality is acknowledge
         The imperfections are revealed
           The damage is renewed

Then

                                                 The mirror is shattered
                                  The fairy tale destroyed
                                                                    Happily ever after
                                                                            A myth that you were told

                                              Replaced by tragic endings
                                                                     Annihilated dreams 
                                                                                                                                       
                    Pauses in the memory
                                 Long forgotten schemes 

Reaching 

              For the answers
                    Hoping so to find 
                            who you are
                                                              and 


                                                                               what you were
                                                                            A total new design

    Despite

                 the rules you were given
             the egg begins to crack 
          You emerge the owner 
      of a long forgotten past



The spoken word changes your truth 
   The written word defines it
The story of your shattered youth    
   reveals that you are stronger

                 An imperfect human 
                       Whose life story was written 
                             By your own hand
                                 With valuable lessons that need to be told 

                                                    
        And a new life

                                                       that needs to be lived

Author Notes
Every story truly told becomes the catalyst for someone else to tell their story. That is why we write.
