Soul Healing

Confusion is my state of mind,
How could you be so cold?
Depression brings on apathy,
As you try to mold
Me into what you want,
Leaving naught for me.
Hurtful words you speak in anger,
Mistakes are all you see.
I need your arms to hold me tight
And for you to understand;
How hard it is to create change,
I try the best I can.
Healing slowly, day by day,
Wounds that scarred my soul.
Heeding lessons that I've learned,
Improvement you think slow.
I'm not the person I once was,
No matter what you think.
I need your love to boost me up,
So my heart no longer stings.
Words that you say in kindness
Impact my life much more,
Than spiteful words you say in anger
Shut tight my spirit's door.
Please be patient with me, dear,
I'm learning as I go.
Through life's often twisted maze,
Trials help my soul to grow.
