Survivor Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

Survivor



Managing to survive
her daddy’s violent ways;
she swore an oath
no man would ever
get the chance again.
And none ever did.

That iron heart
crushed anyone
who got close;
all were destined
to be players in a war
that raged on inside her.

Wound up married
to an old man,
who offered no battleground
for unanswered rage;
no real love
for a lifetime of emptiness.
