And the fury of hell was unleashed by her
Nothing in her path was safe
Years of hurt welled up in her
The only place it could go was out
Out and through
Tearing buildings
And boards
And walls
And homes
The force was so great no man could have stopped her
No thought could have held her
No promise could have tamed her
She sought relief
She held it all back so long her own power within scared her too
She just let it go
And maybe she feels sorry for the devastation she caused
But she couldn’t help it
She couldn’t hold it
She couldn’t feel it
She just let go
Now she is beautiful again
She tries not think about it anymore
She is sorry that her own pain was more important than that of all others
She weeps a little
Her friends look different to her
Because they are
They could never
Will never
Be the same
She doesn’t make excuses
How could there possibly be one that could explain what happened
She owns it
Possibly puts back a little of what was taken
But knows deep down
That no one
No thing
Will ever be the same
Blessitude
Lorrie
Poem written 11/7/12
I chose to post these two poems together…this one – Unleashed Fury, and It’s Okay to Remember, because I recognized the connection between Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy and the storm that was brewing inside me.
The poems were written several months apart during a very intense part of my emotional, and physical healing. I know that I have had a major transformation in my healing for, although reading these poems evokes certain feelings, the distance is comforting.
I am so blessed and full of gratitude – BLESSITUDE!!! I wish for you all to be able to weather the storms in your life. It is a journey worth taking!!!
<3 Lorrie
Sometimes, Lorrie, the pressure from within is so powerful, there is not other way then to release it. Just like Mother Nature, when the pressure builds, a storm is a result. As without, so within. When we stuff, we become “dis-eased”. Great poem and BLESS your for posting it. Love, Amy
Amy…thank you so much!! I sometimes wonder about showing the darkness…there was much in my past. But without the darkness I would never have known the light. I am so grateful…and I know you understand. And your post today speaks nicely with mine today. Much love to you, Lorrie
Great minds think alike, Lorrie. If is were not for the shadows in my Life, I would not be who I am today. So everything truly does have a Higher Purpose. Love, Amy
Much love back to you dear Amy! 🙂 I wish a super blessed Sunday…and much love and peace <3

I think that when you have been victimized by someone, when someone has taken away your power, then there is bound to be anger, to express anger is an important part of the healing prosess. Because when we dont express anger it tends to turn inwards and become a depression or an eating dissorder or cutting, the anger that was supposed to be there to defend us, to fight for our protection, was never allowed to come up and do its job so it turns inward instead. When we express anger after a long period of holding it back or letting it turn inwards, it is extremely liberating, and some wil even say, completely necessary in order to heal. <3 <3 <3
You are a bright Angel and a soul to healing! Trini…everything you said is so beautiful. Yes, you have a full understanding of the pain that can completely render an individual helpless…that is until you reach some crisis…health…you are correct depression…or tragic life altering event. That is when there is a strong possibility of being able to connect to the healing source of spirit…your own spirit…love…unconditional love that has always been there…but you learned to not use it! I had much anger…and guilt. But I am a work in progress…and posting these poems at this time is good for me. Much love to you soulsister 🙂
🙂 You are amazing Lorrie! 🙂 And the fact that you are openly sharing your journey with others is so amazing! 🙂 Imagine all the women you are helping, women who are still stuck in similar situations! 🙂 That makes you their Angel! 🙂 Lots of Love to you to sweet sister! 🙂 <3 <3 <3
Thank you dear soulsister. If I could help even just one person I would be so happy. I know you write this and understand this to your soul because you also want to help people. Have a super blessed day dearest Line!!! I am so grateful to have you in my life. 🙂
🙂 And I am so so grateful to have you in mine!! 🙂
Life challenges and difficulties make us stronger…. I think we are like pupils in a school, this school Earth… and the painful time, in a way, always prepares happier days…. solitude, then blessitude… thank you for your testimony of spiritual strenght.much love to you from Germany (a country I love and that may win the world cup tonight, everybody is very excited here!!!)
Thank you so much for your very tender, very loving words dearest Fre’de’ric! You are so correct…that is what I believe also…we are in the earth school. And “the painful time, in a way, always prepares happier days”….YES!! I am so thankful for you … your heart is giant giver of love.
Enjoy your time in Germany dearest! And revel in the excitement of the world cup!!!! I can only imagine how wonderful that energy is!! Have fun Fre’de’ric!!!! 🙂 🙂

You have expressed the truth of what many of us feel, Lorrie, as have many of those who have already replied. I think as we are strengthened by the Spirit to release pain, anger and resentment, we have the capacity to be filled with love and light. Whatever we are filled with, we give away. It’s obvious you overflow with love and light.
Hi Susan 🙂 You fill my heart with light and love and I am so grateful for your words. This is how it works!!! Yes…”whatever we are filled with, we give away” When I was in pain I delivered it as good as I got!! and I hated every minute of it…it was an energy that was magnified by the sheer volume of it. Changing that energy has been the single most important work of my life!! and yes…I can feel the love in my heart and that is what I want to give away!!! Ahhhhh…. so much better!
Much love and many blessings to you!!!! <3
You’re welcome my friend, and as we are just pupils in a school, learning souls, all of our mistakes are forgiven: they are just a necessary part of learning… ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
And Susan has found the right words “you overflow with love & light” 🙂
🙂 Merci’ <3
You have expressed this phenomenon very well. No one wants to leave a path of devastation…but sometimes if the pressure has reached its limit, it just happens
Yes…it sure does. And it sometimes feels like the harder we try to contain it…the more furious the storm is when it finally hits. Thanks so much for reading and for commenting…have a super day! 🙂
Hi Lorrie, Thanks for your courage to share your feelings and path. Yes, bottled emotions become a storm of destruction that can do more harm to us and others. Hopefully, we learn constructive ways to feel and express our emotions. I’m still a work in progress too. How wonderful that you are healing yourself and others by sharing your path. Many blessings, 🙂
Lorrie, I imagine we have all been there, and my well revisit that place. Blessings.
And blessings back to you dear Michael. Yes…I am sure of that also. I just hope that I learn more about myself and my time here and I yearn to banish fear and always come from love…even on the darkest nights! 🙂
Hi Brad. Thank you for adding here. I wish we could all find our way with as little pain as possible…but I’m not sure that is the way that it works. I am grateful for the things I’ve learned…maybe not so happy to experience some of the actual events…but …you know what I mean! Much love to you in your own Journey Brad…I know you are working out some things right now and I want you to know that you encourage me! Thanks for being a great friend 🙂 <3
“She owns it” and she has owned up to it, not down, as far as I can see, Lorrie.
Seen in the light of a new day, the shadowy relics of our dim recollections
appear less fearful; even as they remain to be the truths of our past,
they carry less weight, and thus become less burdensome.
Humans are quite adept, when it comes to finding silver linings.
Good to see you’re following that thread! 🙂 I wish you well. Keith ~
Yes…a firm believer in the silver linings and silver threads to build the lovely frock of love to wear!!!
Your words are beautiful and they speak to my heart! Blessitude
Love your beautiful, cathartic words here 🙂
Thank you Julie 🙂 It has been a very comforting day with all the support I received. Much love to you!
I can just feel power in your words, Lorrie. Thanks for sharing these emotions with us and taking us on your journey.
Hi Becky. Thank you for always supporting me. These poems were a little difficult because I remembered the pain. But it was really amazing to see this community come together to offer comfort and understanding. Have a great week! 🙂
There are two things which are bound to happen; change and death. Change occurs within seconds…and that is where jewels lay..for everything happens for a reason…it just takes time to realise its secrets 🙂
This was beautiful…made me share the reminder above 🙂
Lots of love
Zara
Oh Zara…This is so beautiful! And such a great reminder. It is sometimes hard to see the jewels immediately. ..but I agree with you completely. This has been a truth for me for as long as I can remember. Thank you dear heart <3 <3
