Poem: Blisters and Scars
Many times
blistered
by harsh
criticism
the words
raise
invisible welts
of shame
on my skin
and in my mind
even all
these years
later
a soul parched
in the heat
of indignation
and the scars
remain
Poem: No Longer Needed
That sinking realization when you understand that they don't need you anymore They're outgrown you they can survive without you When it is so gradual that it sneaks up on you but the inevitable gut punch is that while you become aware they still act the same but their actions confirm it every hour or every day.
