Scars Of Romance Poem by Preston Mwiinga

There is no expedient that man goes through to avoid labor of thinking.
I thought I had found my destination,
That my search was over but I was extremely wrong.
I have been hurt without a cause
I have been harmed whilst I'm harmless
I have been emotionally tortured and my sores are still bleeding.
I have been insulted and treated like trash and yet I still stand innocent.

When I fell in love I was convinced I had reached my destination and that I was going to
be loved but I was wrong.
I have been double crossed with my very own friends whilst I
Added taste to their private lives
I have been dumped without a reason; I have been mocked and humiliated in the world
Of romance.

Despite all these, I still stand firm.
I still have a long way to go for me to survive the emotional torture
As the scars are still very visible.
I believe I will survive this test of time and be happy again.
I may have been betrayed, humiliated,
I still believe that I will rise up because it's not about how many
Times I have fallen but it is about how many times I
Am able to get back on my feet's.
I will be out of this captivity.
My scars will strengthen me.
