260. RE: An idiot with good intent
Sep 26 2014, 10:55 PM EDT | Post edited: Sep 26 2014, 10:55 PM EDT
I first came to this site with a curious mind
where I encountered a vast number of people.
Some led amazing lives of fighting demons, monsters, and evil of all kinds.
But then I hear that they got hurt
I just can't stand when people get hurt
from supernatural beings with evil intent.
And I wish I could more than just comfort.

But herein lies a choice that I face.
Should I remain hidden away is safety?
Away from the battlefield so I don't get hurt?
Where monsters don't bother to even look for me?
And only build up knowledge just in case?
Or should I rather attempt to take up a sword and shield and join others in their fight?
To fight against evil
help save other people
and learn to heal and to protect.

But what if, as a result
of me joining the fray,
I cause more problems than solved
become a burden to others
and hinder more than help?
What if I knew too little
and was in constant need of saving?
But if I decide to stay safe
I'll feel bad either way
I'll be filled with regret because I didn't try to help.

This choice I face fills me with great angst.
I do not know which way to go
Perhaps my mind is too narrow
Perhaps I am wrong
Perhaps all I am is an idiot with good intent.

So sad... :(
But it's good though! I wish I could write poetry and stuff.

"Idiot"?? MadameSerena How can you be an "idiot" and write like that? You can't. So your not an idiot by any stretch of the definition. (HUGS YOU) ^_^

"I stand amoung you, you say I have a home. You call me friend and say you'll never roam.
But the newness wears away, and comes a change in tone.
And then as always...., I will stand alone.

Good bye."
Grim...?

263. True Abandonment

A door slams in my face again
Stuck in this cold, dark dungeoun
I remember all the dungeouns I hve been in.
A dark one of death- one of loneliness
The one of breathelessness, dehydration, and starvation
The second prison of abandment was gray and blue
On the second story it spoke of invisible black fire
Neglect, and abuse reigned, yet we survived.
At the age of eight, my childhood a blessing until my imprisonment came
One person came, Same person left.
Not a word, not a call
Abandoment came, true abandonment....
Imprisoned by my pain and tears I had wondered
How could a mother do that to her daughter.
My imrisonment lasted for years
The pain grew, yet life was not done handing out the storms
My tormentor came when I was 12.
Unseen, unknown, he haunted my every thought, my every move, my every dream.
My pain empowered him, soon hate filled my heart
I was becoming damaged.
I managed to free myself from his grasp.
But I was alone in all that torture, my family never knew
But then I was an image of my hated mother.
Never accepted by myself or others- I seemed abandoned again.
Use to the imprisonment and abandonment,
I stand alone, always will, always have.

Are you certain of that? The fae have always helped me when they can, but an ancient as me truly has to stand alone for all the secrets she holds. Do you find this valuable?

....let's put it this way... you have support from us, and you can talk to us about things that are bothering you.
grim included.
ive never known anyone who can keep secrets as he can.
in any case, you are NOT alone.
