Surviving abuse is so hard
Years of crying, trying, failing
trying to build one wall, rip down another
trying to get a grip with arms flailing ....
Confidence stripped bare along with emotion
of a parent so cold, selfish, distant
numbness prevails, where's the devotion?
Trust blown away with the winds of time
leaving a shell so empty, devoid of feeling
a gaping hole through this heart of mine.
But one day a light shines bright,
through the darkness and despair,
I drink it in with all my might
I see hope ahead, yes it's difinitely there....

Re: Jinnyann,
You've hit the nail on the head: hope has to come at some stage. You put it so well. I write, too, but you have a way with words. Please continue to share, as your writings can and DO influence someone like me who has been through the most awful deep depression and hopelessness (and paranoia) these past 4 years, "years of crying, trying and failing" as you put it. It's been so revealing to me to share on here with such as your goodself, and I'm sure in my bones that hope must come into the equation at some stage, though in my case all too late, but there nonetheless, right now. My blog (at
http://john4.psychcentral.net) will show the depths to which I descended. Hope, though, is so fragile, as I know to my cost when the Voice comes to haunt me in the midnight hour. But as you write one must "...drink it with all my might". How very true! Thank you, and I'm sorry you went through so much . . . A special hug from me.

My friend thankyou so so much, to hear your words gives me hope too. I have been desperate, so down, felt so unworthy for many years. I never ever thought i could heal, never. This last year has been the worst ever. Now i can stand up and say i AM worth it, I AM a personwho mattersand above all, I AM healing. My thoughts now are I WILL NOT LET THEM RUIN MY LIFE ANYMORE ...they have been controlling me for so long and no longer will it be.Goodluck my friend and keep writing, through my writing and talking, crying and reaching out i am through to the other sideand i'm never going back. Hugs to you and i know you will make it too.

love, Jinnyann xoxoxoxoxoxo
