Title: A poem I wrote. I am free now Post by: smart_storm26 on February 20, 2018, 07:02:59 AM Hello,
Now that I have let go of my BPD partner and no longer am I trying to save my relationship, I am focusing on healing myself and addressing my feelings. I am in the process of separating from my partner. I wrote this poem while sitting on my desk and wanted to share with you all I am scared. I am broken and numb But I am not dead. I am still alive Let me shed this rotting skin of abuse And into the sea of freedom I will dive Today I tell myself I have nobody But a broken heart and your blame Even I can smell my severe burns But this phoenix will rise from the flame I cannot change my past. I know now. Nothing can take away this pain But through the holes of my soul Peek and watch my strength regain I will start again from the wreckage My ship has sunk but not my heart But if you keep your eyes on the sky One day like a rocket you will see me dart And you will know what you let go Thank you so much for destroying me It made me see that here I do not fit So today I break those chains and go free Title: Re: A poem I wrote.

If it ever becomes anything, I’ll be sure to share it.

Don't mean to be rude and hijack a thread like this. Talking about poems and writing, I was listening to the lyrics of a song... .well quite a popular hit these days, and i just went... .damn... just sends me the BPD red flags all over. Here is the first part of the song and course the link below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA7AIQw-7Ms (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA7AIQw-7Ms) "Cross my heart, hope to die To my lover, I'd never lie He said "be true", I swear I'll try In the end, it's him and I He's out his head, I'm out my mind We got that love, the crazy kind I am his and he is mine In the end, it's him and I, him and I" That kinda sums up my love experience for a while. Until well, in the end it was neither her nor I. Title: Re: A poem I wrote. I am free now Post by: Lucky Jim on February 20, 2018, 10:18:53 AM Wow, smart storm. Thank you for sharing that lovely poem. As spero suggests, expressive writing is a great way to process trauma, resolve issues and build resilience. There's a book out there, Expressive Writing, by James Pennebaker, that addresses the medical research behind the process.

It would be helpful to have a collection of pieces from people who have been through this. |
