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
