Betrayed
Since I am currently going through some betrayal issues with my sister I found this poem very comforting. Time and just focusing on living life seems to help. Everyday gets easier I guess - as long as I stay away from the drama.
Betrayed

I am shattered,
abused, and bruised.
Broken fragments of me
litter the landscape.
Dazed, I wander
through chaos
bewildered by
where I have been.
Searching for
something real
to staunch the bleeding,
stop the tears,
heal the hurt,
I sift through fear and
anger of surreal days.
Grieving,
I go through the motions —
butter the toast,
take out the trash.
I find scattered remnants
of who I am
and gather particles of
hope, confidence,
forgiveness until
finally, I have
a handful.
Kaleidoscope pieces
form dazzling patterns,
prisms in the sun.
Turning, testing, I
discover something
new and beautiful —
I am whole.
