This journey has been so long It's thrown twists and turns at me I thought I was near the end but when I got through the weeds I found another path stretching ahead of me

I chose this path I didn't know it'd be this long but I can't turn around now so all I can do is take it one step at a time

Step by step Day by day I'll reach the end of this path The sky seems dark now but soon, it'll clear up

And the best part is that I'm not walking alone there are so many people walking alongside me holding my hand so I don't need to be scared

So step by step day by day and hand in hand I'll keep walking this path until it opens up to bright, blue skies

I've been abused tricked betrayed abandoned ostracized hurt

This is how trauma is made No matter what anyone else says

I have trauma

I don't ask for pity or admiration I'm already taking care of myself

For you see Despite my trauma

I am still beautiful I am still worthy I am still enough I am still sparkling

I know what you did I know why you did it I've heard your side I've listened to what you felt And I understand

That doesn't mean it didn't hurt I'm okay with it it was right

It will take time to accept to heal to forgive

Now it's your turn to listen to know to understand

This is what's best for me

One Year Ago

I found myself at my lowest point Barely keeping my head above water My brain screaming to give up But I held my head up long enough to take out my tools and fix it

Walking everywhere with a rain cloud overhead Struggling everyday just to get out of bed

Injury invisible to others hindering your ability to be who you were

I keep my scars hidden Because I don’t want the world to know But if everyone does that then everyone will be alone

There are people in this world who will flash a big, kind smile while at the same time they hold a knife behind their back

Cracked and broken You fell to pieces While the storm inside Never ceases

Shaken, broken I felt so lost The light was fading and so was I
