  1.     

love gone wrong

your words you
used as weapons
to bully and degrade
have left their
welts well buried
inside my shattered heart
feeling guilty for the
harm you caused
is not within
your troubled soul
you've rationalized
each wrongful act
your heart so very cold

i thought you'd love me
forever and a day
but now i know
that caring is not
your coarse hearts way
i cannot take
you back now i've
found some peace of mind
i'm searching for a love
that i can trust this time

  2.     

Strength

i do not know my strength
nor see myself as other people do
i can not be all things
to others or please all for
the sake of keeping peace

death will come swiftly
when everyone wants a piece of me
and there is not enough
of me to go around
my strength slowly depletes

i turn a deaf ear to the men
whose own ears ignored my pleas
forgiving them a given
though forgetting so difficult
i release those that built this prison

i have never known my strength
to endure the unspeakable
giving life my all to
those who would just as soon
see me fall from lack of breath
 
Faith Elizabeth Brigham
   
 

   
   
 

  3.     

Lizzie Borden

a simple whack or two
with the ax wouldn't do
she kept on whacking till
she was through
reducing the family
to only two

  4.     

Almighty Identity Crisis

i am reborn every morning
when i rise expecting
good things from the day
getting my dose of raw reality
as the day moves along
by nightfall i crawl into bed
remembering i have been through
this kind of thing before
the almighty identity crisis

every six or seven years
it comes without fail
i am uncomfortable feeling this frail
knowing i may change on the inside
or rearrange things on the outside
i should be used to it by now
my only consolation is in knowing
i will come out of it
stonger and more self-assured than beforehand
