Broken Soul Girl

Broken soul girl She was five-then She was nine-then She was twenty two-then She was molested at three different times With three different monsters Her body was damaged Her mind was filled with horrid nightmares Her heart was in fragment dark pieces Her soul was broken and lost She was living in fear There was no safe place for her Her life wasn't worthy She was and still is the broken soul girl Years may be coming and going but her broken soul remain lost The fear of those vile memories keep her lights on every night Because those horrid nightmares never leave her alone The streams of tears The crashing pain in her heart and The broken wings of her soul were never seen for she hide them so well. And for 39years her kept darkest secrets hidden in the lowest part of her heart are about to sound loudly in the whisper of the wind ... telling the story of a broken soul girl when... She was five- then She was nine-then She was twenty two-then She was just a baby She was the happy face girl with a black hole in her heart BUT NOW she's a grown woman lives to tell it all uncensored Her story Her life Her nightmare... Broken soul girl! Akkina R Downing 10/11/16

Thank you so much Niall. I'm healing bit by bit from all the supports I've gotten. And I have no hate in my veins to hate these monsters, I'm just so afraid to see them again. Hence I stay far away :(

Wow. Pain into words and now i hurt with you. Very emotional and blunt piece that needed to be shared so maybe we all can help you and others like you find a fix to your broken soul.

I'm so sorry you went through this nightmare. There are more monsters than people realize. I pray God heals your body and spirit. His love can wash away your tears. With each thing that is taken from us there is also a strength that is gained as well as empathy. Hugs Rick

It's a good thing this is all being exposed. The more the experiences are contained in our inner locked rooms, the more energy we expend trying to keep the doors closed. I do hope you become whole and can enjoy the precious gift of life that you have in front of you. I know all about abuse, and it is an awful thing. I only hope you can see that it will make you much more all knowing, understanding since it is everywhere. We can try to prevent this from happening to anyone else.
