Poetry
This is about how I had beat depression and my suicidal thoughts went away, Of corse my depression never really left but it's not as bad and I can control it. I stopped cutting 2 years ago and this poem is to celebrate that achievement. As you can see my older stories are extremely depressing and I'll still write some like that but I'll try writing more happy and upbeat poems also,thank you for taking the time to read this! If you don't enjoy my poems just to let you know I really don't give a flying F about your opinion this is my thoughts and I know people going through the same thing I did,and so if your one of those people...hang in there and don't do anything you'll regret! EVER!

Inside you will find a mixture of both, extremely RAW and refreshingly HEALING accounts of my personal war with my past. Unfortunately, Childhood sexual abuse is far too common, and many of share similar experiences. Looking back, what I could have used more than anything was someone to tell me "You're not alone, there is a lightness through the darkness, you can heal from this and most importantly don't EVER stop telling your story to make others comfortable". I've learned that silence is the best weapon for a predator, and I for one, have never been really good at doing what I'm told. I don't intend on starting now. I wear my scar as reminder that I hold the power in my own story, it is mine to tell and I won't make myself sick keeping quiet because my truths are hard to swallow, other people's comfort is not my problem. My Goal is rather simple, to let the readers know, they too are not alone. If you are a survivor, even if you still feel like a victim, this is my personal message to you. "You are strong, and it wasn't your fault. Tell someone... tell anyone...tell everyone... We shift from victims to survivors when we speak up and tell our stories. There's nothing wrong with you, and the light will shine again. The longer you sit in silence the more power your abuser still holds over you, wipe your face warrior, because there's a lion right inside of you, DONT EVER GIVE UP!" *This story is FULL of TRIGGERS, please be careful reading if triggers are hard for you, your mental health matters* *I own all the Rights to all parts of this book*
