I Am More, And Always Have Been
Real Poetic's One Year Anniversary Acrostic Challenge
A weaker soul would have erased it
Never wanting to recall
Nerves exposed, completely unfit
Impetus as a tethered ball
Vile and violent the memories
Ethereal, the tie that binds
Ravaging my basic senses, to
Satisfy your savage mind
Adaptation, a chance to renew
Rewritten to survive and thrive
Your callous heart and poor intentions, could never keep me from the light

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.

I love how this ends, could have been so different.
I face the truth and still I thrive. I loved this, Kelli! Powerful, powerful poetry!
This was powerful! "Your callous heart and poor intentions, could never keep me from the light"
What an opening line! Loved this!
Wow, it is a great entry Kelli. Very very liked it.
The painful memories are beautifully captured and finding a light to emerge stronger is the real triumph.
Really like the image and it is a match for the words for me in a way for the butterflies mean new life yet with the fall leaves on the tree kind of means an end to something and being on boat gives the viewer and reader a chance to float and think about an anniversary. I know this is kind of farfetched and probably wrong.
