I no longer need To run"...........Another poem worthy of six stars! Love you, Trish

Comment from Judian James
Bravo! This was a very powerful piece to read. You overcame great obstacles and made it! I commend you. I thought the short "I ran" lines to "I no longer need to run" were most effective. Well done.

Comment from smokyeye
Excellent work as always. Your messag was descriptive and clear and the subject is noteworthy. The only thing is each one or two word phrases has "ran" in it except for the one "if possible" at the beginning

Thank you so much for your encouraging words smoky...I get a visual of a cigarette dangling from the mouth of a man playing piono, from your name...Like Hogy... LOL...Blessings...L&P*
-
I added I ran to the first line.
-
Your visual of me couldn't be farther from reality. The truth is I got my name after a makeup technique used to enhance my eyes. I chose the name because the eyes are the window to the soul and when I think of writing I think of getting into one's soul.
-
Thank you for the explanation...i didn't mean to offend...it was just a visual that came to me...all i do know is you are a great reviewer and i missed that...Blessings...L&P*
Comment from GerryMacNeil
The poem turns a heart-wrenching story into an upward, triumphant surge. The sense of "movement after struggle" is so encouraging to me. There is one spelling error, fatal in a poem: "embrase" should be "embrace".
Your notes make me want to encourage you to try out prose, narrative prose relating and describing your experiences. I think you might be surprised at what it would do for you.
The only other thing, my dear sister in spirit, is that I would ask you to look again at the last line in your notes. Somehow it seems to me that YOUR love was the uncondtional part of that relationship. There are probably, no certainly! circumstances I do not know and cannot understand, but I feel you have been hurt as well as enriched by this relationship. Gerry xxoo

Hi L&P,
I am so glad you have found God's amazing grace I told you, you and I had a lot in common. I can relate, as a child I too, became a victim of the abuse and I tried to run. I spent years running and then realized I had to face those demons head on. Like you, with much hard work, I finally made it. Let's have a toast, to two sister's who no longer have to run! Thank you so much for sharing your poem of the winner who has won the race. God bless and best wishes!

Comment from T.S.J.
Abuse should never be in our world. Look at what it does to little children, It only serves to make them big children with many problems.Why would one chose this, to do this is evil,and not wise. Thank You for drawing attention to this massive problem. T.S.J.

Comment from Kaze
Your poem tells a long sad tale of abuse and fear, trying to escape and run from that endless cycle. I'm glad you were finally able to break free and find peace.
