A melee of flavours you are
As sweet as you can be
Sourness does not evade you
But I love fruit...

For its natural sweetness
A treat for my tastebuds

A work in progress

So you dont want to change
What am I supposed to do
What have we been doing then
You already have
Because this is not what I signed up for
Loud silences
Reminiscent of times
When I had no choice
But to allow
My moods to be dictated
Cause children can't challenge adults
But I am now a woman
With choice and free will
Somethings got to give
But it wont be me.

Melanie Duncan (c)

If you would talk to me
I would know why
I was in such deep pain
We could avoid the gaping chasm
That holds us in its grip
I could be happy
One of us could be
But your silence
In its loudness
Takes both of us as prisoners

Only he
Has the Capacity
To transform
My darker days
His kiss
Releases a thousand butterflies

He is someone
That I both like
And Admire
His personality just shines
Humility, his sweet nector
Oozes from him
Just like the honesty
That is obvious to me

I am who he makes me
I admit this
Because it is what I always required
Experience has taught me to be cautious
But he is infectious
And I have caught him
Happiness spreads through me

I look forward
To every moment we share
As he penetrates my icy exterior
He is the making of me

Melanie Duncan (c)

This would be the last time, I thought as the raged coursed through me like a an exorcet missile. I have well and truly had enough. I am fed up of sacrificing my truth for your lies. I concealed the person you truly are in my pursuit of growth. Each time I apologised for your inability to be a man, I could feel my core curl up within itself.

I would love to see what you can see
That makes you look at me
And make decisions that affect me
I would like to think I am approachable
But maybe I’m not
What do you see
That makes you feel intimidated
I would have respected you
More if you told me
To my face
Instead of conspiring against me
But you make me stronger
You make me want to be
A better person
Your words
Your actions
Inspire me to be the best me
I can be
Each time, I hear
Or feel your look
I get angry, then I heal
You are that important to me
You hater you…

If only people would think before they got involved in relationships

Tried thinking about how they affect the person you desire

Sometimes we have needs that meed to be met

But you must know the impact of what you do and feel

How can you leave a person feeling like a trainwreck because of what you

Have done

In case you didn't know

Nakedness makes a woman more vulnerable

So breaking up

After or during coitus

May feel good for you

But can hurt so deep

Because the fact that trust allows you to speak to their soul

It feels like an emotional rape.

I am a woman
Who has almost forgotten who I am
But know exactly who I want to be
Who is fed up of defending
My right to exist

They want to beat me
To conform to their ideas
They are killing me wth ideologies
Shaping, reshaping, sculpting, deciding then undeciding
Who and what I am
And what I should accept

Well F*** you - because
I am sensitive
I can be emotonal
I do care
I am strong
I can make something out of nothing
I do begin my day in prayer
I love to look nice, for me
I do love to make love
I can be moody
I do want children
We do talk a lot

Do you ever wake up with a fear of getting up and facing the world that is so strong that ideas and things you are not supposed to think of appear in your mind?

I do, this morning I felt a pain in the centre of my stomach, it was the size of a two pund coin in the place where my belly button should have been. It was there reminding me of my past where I lived in fear and kept myself to myself. I would talk to noone because everyone appeared to have their stuff together and didnt need me to mither them about something inconsequential as my worries.

I am writing this to exorcise some of my demons, also to give thanks to those who i have met on my journey and in the hope that someone may gain, some of the understanding I have gained along the way. I know this may seem somewhat arrogant of me, only just recently starting out in a lovely relationship with a significant other but as I come to realise it is more about the relationship one has with themself, therefore as I have known me for 40 years, it is quite apt.
