Oh dear, this is so sad....everyone's life is a work in progress, and everyone has a past and secrets. Abuse is something that stays with you forever, some things you can never forgive, or be forgiven for and you have to live with that. Your daughter loves you, what a wonderful gift. You have written this piece from a place of sadness, keep writing, sometimes it's a way to get emotions out.

this is an excellent write, Barbara, you did an excellent job writing this honest free verse about the bi polar behavior that caused you to lash out and the trials you suffered at your husband and mother's hands.

Lovin` Since you have forgiveness from God, relax and allow him to help you forgive yourself. I too suffered for years with bi-polar and is the reason I write poetry, it brings healing to me. But, please forgive yourself.
Nice writing. Keep writing as it is very healing as you go forward in life and it is never too late to forgive yourself, Best of everything to you. Pat

Very good poem-story! I can relate(I say this a LOT on this site...). I'm still very much bipolar. Our minds and brains weren't designed to put up with so much BS. Yet, S happens.
My dad and I didn't bond - at least not until he was very old and I was getting there. At a young age, I was "touched" not by an angel. It went on for a couple years, and by Jr. high I was quite screwed up in many ways.
Your poem-story eloquently shows our experience/s. Yeah, screaming at God - many times I've done that. Wanting death? Yep. I'm on meds, attend a 12-Step group, and have made some friends, but I'm still, like you, having to work at it.
Thanks very much for sharing!
Mike

This is full of emotion and images. Walls around your heart make it hard to love. It doesn't really make you safe. It only keeps you from living life. I am glad that you are starting to feel contempt and have your daughter back.
It is a bad disease and I think getting better is always a work in process. Good luck.
Keep writing

One would never know. It looks like you have come a long way. This is well penned -- the anguished cry of a soul. You chose a piece of art that works in harmony with the words.
