Yesterday's Memories

[Guest therisa]

Sounds of young feet

Scurrying across

The leaf littered playground

As they rush home

From school.

Frosty wind bites

At them

As their cheeks glow

A rosy red hue.

For a few

After school means

A time of pain and tears

Where sanctuary

Has been revoked

Without any alternative.

Forced to run

The gauntlet of abuse

As the bullies

Line-up

Readying their fist

To launch

Their punishing assault.

Ah sweet memories

Of youth

God

I hate you.

There are Bullies everywhere in life

There comes a time when their power fades to nothing

All we have to do is open our eyes and hearts

Be better than they could ever be

Give them a <<<<< hug >>>>>>

And

Vanna, if I tried that policy, I would be here, now, but I know what you mean. Just grew up in a "rough" neighbour, for being different.

I know what you mean therisa

But where are they now

I think most are hiding in the past :ph34r:

let them stay there

Try and forget

Time to move on

You have better things to think about

Girlish things

<<<< hug >>>>

Oh Vanna, love your selection of emoticons used. Seriously, I know this and am trying to do so, but sometimes, the memories hit me, when I least expect them. I think, getting into this CBT program will be a huge step, in dealing with them.

Whatever that is

CBT means Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. And thanks, for the unwavering support you, have given me, Vanna. I truly value it.
