"Is There Anybody True"

Poetry

by trulee

This is a poetry written by me as an eighteen year old girl who went through child abuse and was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. My birth mother had left me when I was one or two years old, and this experience contributes to the occasional surge of feelings of isolation that the poetry depicts.

Is there anybody true Is there anybody to be true to Is there anybody that gives without taking Is there anybody that can listen to a heart aching Is there anybody to touch me The way I need to be touched like a lock is for a key Is there anybody to cry with Is there anybody that can outwit the trickeries of despair Is a mother's love true Does it exist You can tell me if you are my mother but my mother is long gone and whether She loves me or not doesn't matter Because my experiences taught me fantasies and I would rather live in that fantasy than to face the disillusionment and vanities insanity, no remedy, I'm not ready for anything but love So is there anybody true is there anybody to be true to
