Resilient Spirit--Do You Know the Answer

Something Inside

I almost drowned
in my mother’s bitterness
like the baby kittens
she pushed beneath the water
in the kitchen sink
as they struggled
under her hand

I almost gave up
when I couldn’t dream any more
my dreams trampled on
replaced with nightmares

I almost died when
she wove her tangled spider web
and wrapped me up inside
And I had to be a person
I was not meant to be

Something inside
kept me alive
something greater
than my tormentors
or even myself

What is this something inside
Do you know?
