SLINTERS OF ME by Rosella Gomez

am I just on a merry go round of life
do I walk with intent or aimlessly wander
there are many voices screaming inside
I cant silence their pain, until their herd
I scream aloud as I wake from dream
my breath is rapid as is my pounding heart
my child has been so wounded so broken
its so hard to look in those eyes of sorrow and pain
it takes me to the floor in puddleing tears
I have abandoned you my little
alone to face the beast to burn your soul
and you melted away of his burning touch
to become another someone not me, and me
you took me to the place where you all hide inside
to care for one another with compleat abandon
I see a room with many eyes, of male of female
of parts of me that splintered away into you
to keep alive the me that could not endure the storm
now it is my turn to keep you safe, away from the madness
for now you are all with me, for me, behind me
and we are now a force to contend with
