the trauma changed my life….
took away any sense of safety and security….
left me in a confusing haze….
but the hard part of healing is realizing….
I never felt safe….
My life was a distorted, helpless maze….
But now everything is different….
Because I’m not a victim….
And I’m not afraid…
Yes…
He hurt me….
Yes…
She failed to protect me….
And I still feel the pain running through me…
But I’m here….
And I’m alive….
There’s life left in me to live….
And this is my chance….
My opportunity to choose a life that I’ve never had….
To embrace my fears and vulnerability….
Heal the scars and let them go…
Leave behind a life and world I no longer need to know….
And every tiny step and choice….
Makes a world of difference….
In a life of love…
