I Am A Survivor
You robbed my innocence
Exposing and violating me
time and time again.
Destroying my spirit,
my pride, my soul.
I was your victim.
I was young, powerless……
Forced to play your revolting game
with rules that defeated me.
Your manipulative knife cut through my inner core.
Your threats reverberated in my head.
I was your victim.
The pain in my soul was excruciating.
Disgrace pulsated through my veins.
Humiliation asphyxiated my every breath.
My soul was dead….
reduced to nothing.
Existence no longer inspired me
Contemplation of suicide motivated me.
I was your victim.
I discovered a temporary release…
Capsules tightly sealed, protected from any harm
I consumed my agony with every swallow.
Fear retched within me …
Denying my termination.
I was your victim.
Abuse
An act of exploitation.
Stripped life of happiness.
It no longer pervades my daily existence.
Time has restored my shattered heart
I embrace life and
I love the person that I am.
I have choices …
I can release the past,
Live for the present
And look forward to the future!
