I Left Myself Behind

There are truly is no words that express the depth of feelings, just as there is some pain

that cannot be smoothed, so we redefine it as mountains we climb, challenges

We face hurdles we jump over in the life we live. I Left Myself Behind is too abused

women around the world with the need to understand the extent to which we all try to

satisfy the need for affection, attention, appreciation, or just acknowledgment,

positive or negative by the opposite sex. “Daughters of the World” helps us to

understand these feelings that many times are misconstrued as you filling a need

with the abuser or you being needed by or deserving to be abused by the abuser.

Do not get tricked by his “Ego Tripping”... thus justifying “The Last Laugh or This

Comical Tragedy”.

I Let Myself Behind is divided into three sections: “Reflections”, a look at what one is

doing (not so much as looking back), “Life,” which is about living, and “Thoughts of

Healing, which is moving in positive directions and helps us to reflect on the steps

We take to go through life and deal with the trials and tribulations of relationships.

Some relationships are excellent, others have their ups and downs. Still some

Relationships are filled with abuse verbally, mentally, and physically. They exist only

to make the abuser or abused value or devalue one's self-worth. We try to make

everyone happy but realize we sometimes suffer in the process and sacrifice ones

own self esteem. In the poem “Beginning of the End”... love and pain are not the

same and not the name of the game.. love and affection are just that love and

affection never to be compared with hurt and pain, use and abuse.

I Left Myself Behind helps us to realize we need to know ourselves and also need to

Forgive ourselves such as in the poems (“Know Oneself”, and “Get Grounded”), once

Doing that, we can then begin to re-create our lives into more fulfilling lives. You

will then appreciate the poem “Re-creation of Life”.
