That Smile Above Your Chin

 

We've walked a path not so bright
into the darkness of the night
We share the light that once was torn
for the time has come to be reborn

The road to happiness is not too far
capture those lights, grab those stars
Release your anguish, blow away the pain
Let go the scars and all the blame

Don't hold back not a minute more
the world awaits you behind that door
Get it out for all it's worth
release the chain, unleash the hurts

Do not suffer in silence no more
a once stilled voice, just open the door
Make that move when the time is right
it is your choice, let in the light

Open your heart and open your soul
For it's your story for once to be told
No more pain and no more fears
No more endless silent tears 

Only you can heal your heart
Rid  the pain of hurts so dark.
I pray for you in every way
I send you sunshine every day. 

Remember this, we all survive
We learn to live, we learn to strive
Open that door, let the sunshine in
And wear that smile above your chin..

Thank you

And yes I have strong feelings on the cases of rape/abuse/domestic violence/torture. When it involves a young child I am more at wits with it. No woman, no child, no man, no boy, no elders, NO human being should ever have to endure these type of violations brought against them. Should I ever become a prosector I guarantee to the fullest extent of the law they would pay for this indispicable violation that we hear of so often in our society. Slapping someone on the wrist for this behavior is just unacceptable. As I work closely with all kinds of abuse this is the one with children that really gets to me the most. I have much compassion for all types of people of abuse.That is why they seek me for I help them get back in the drivers seat and live their life anew. Abuse does not have a color, an age, a status, nothing. It comes in all walks of life, even a pet. I will maybe someday do a blog of this, maybe maybe not. To any and all of you that have ever had this type of violation done against you remember the healing begins with you. Open the door let it in. Begin the healing process as it just does not go away on it's own. I read many a poem on here of feelings and hurts and also crys for help. There is one more thing I have to say. By writing, whether it be a poem, a blog, a short story it is a beginning, a wonderful tool to use as it has helped many others to get it out for fear to speak of it. Keep writing. Find a person whom you really trust that will understand just what your going through and again write, write, write. It is the most prized possession you have the almight pen and paper. If you have to write it and crumple it up and throw it to the wind or into the fire that may work just right for you. If it dosent then continue your thoughts and words in your writings and also know that alot of people are out there to help you. Seek and you shall find. Peace will come again. Much blessings out to all of you this day. My blue I was going on about it and thank you for the feedback here. This response is not to make anyone feel sad just be happy for a moment and keep up the writing. I understand very much what you go through. Blessing to all who hurt today, who love today, and pray for healing to these precious ones so they may retrieve that inner child inside that was taking from them and start to live it over in a happier way. It's work but you can do. Keep your courage and keep your strength. Always. Much love and thoughts to all Mona

WONDERFUL POSSIBLITY good poem Mona.

We’ve walked a path not so bright 
into the dark and into the night
 We share the light that once was torn
 for the time has come to be reborn The road to happiness is not too far capture those lights, grab those stars
 
Release your anguish, release your pain.......(here the repetition is fine)
 Let go the scars and all the blame Don’t hold back not a minute more
 the world awaits you behind that door....( one door) 
Get it out for all it’s worth
 release the chain, unleash the hurts Do not suffer in silence no more..............( double negative!) 
a once stilled voice, just open the door
 Make that move when the time is right
 it is your choice, the light shines bright Open your heart and  the door to your soul.........( more doors try another metaphor) 
For you have got a story to be told 
No more pain and no more fears 
No more endless silent tears  Only you can heal your heart 
Release the pain of hurts so dark................( release again) 
I pray for you in every way 
I send you sunshine every day.  Remember this we all survive 
We learn to live, we learn to strive
 Open that door, let the sunshine in...........( yet another door!)
 And wear that smile upon your chin..........( do we have a double chin?) This is a very good poem Mona of the sunshine eyes, you wrote this well, there are only a few things I am forced to point out, firstly the repetition of doors, once used there should be an alternative metaphor to avoid repetitive sounds and meanings, not considered good form in poetry, unless used in specific ways. The same thing with release another word would become more persuasive. Then there is the double negative 'do not no more!! - do not any more.' or? Do we smile on our chins, I find this difficult to take. You did well so his with a little work on it could become a beautiful little poem even called "Persuasion". I hope you will work on it and make it SING!! Love as ever from your friend Anna dalla Norvegia.

I think you have created a fine poem here dear Magic Mona, you will heal the world with your graceful good heart and wishes of faith no doubt. Well done you! "Do not suffer in silence no more"..........surely ANY more, this was a double negative!! Either that or change the order of the words a little? Great stuff keep it up and above all keep the smile above your chin and we shall all smile with you dear sweet Mona. Love from Anna
