Finding Julia…

August 30, 2011 by admin | Filed under Domestic Violence, Healing, Relationships/Marriage.

 

I miss who I was
I’m not who I am
I left her behind
Buried in sand

I gave up my dreams
I kissed them goodbye
For the wrong sort of love
From the mistakes gone by

She feels lost in the ether
Lost from my face
I struggle to reach her
To pull her into my space

I don’t know how to find her
If she can even come back
And my spirit and future
Has gone a bit black

I can go on without her
I can be something else
But my heart will be empty
Knowing I’m only part of my self

So I take off on this journey
A journey to me
It begins at the ocean
In the sand to set me free…

I’ve been writing a lot lately about my regrets of how much of myself I lost and threw away during my years in a domestic violence marriage.  Alcohol played a large role in the problems.  But it was not at fault for the rage and hate I felt directed my way and never understood.

Julia Ann Ferguson
