6 parts Complete MatureI grew up in a broken home, where words were weapons, sharper than any blade, and actions left me battered, bruised, and broken. Pain wasn't just an occasional visitor-it was my constant companion. Blood stained my skin, a cruel reminder of the endless struggles I was forced to endure. Rejection wasn't something I merely felt-it was an unrelenting force that stalked me, both at home and in the cruel halls of school, and even in the deafening silence of my own mind. I was convinced that I was worthless, unlovable, and doomed to a life of torment.
Then, something changed-or so I thought. I met people who seemed different, who didn't see me as the shattered, discarded girl I had become. They looked past the scars-both on the surface and deep within-and showed me kindness, something I had long forgotten existed. I let myself believe in it, letting their words and actions ignite a small flame of hope inside me. Slowly, piece by piece, I started to rebuild myself, desperate for any sense of normalcy. I convinced myself that maybe, just maybe, my pain didn't define me. But in the end, I was wrong about them.
They, too, left me broken.
This is my journey-surviving the violence of words and actions, fighting through a life of abuse and rejection, and still finding the strength to rise. Even after the darkest days, when it feels like there's nothing left, I fought through the pain, piece by piece, until I finally found my worth.
