Breaking Free

Cracks of abuse chip away at the now hollow shell of these adults. The child...held hostage within... cries out from their tortured souls. The tears turn to screams. " Why me? What have I done to deserve this life of torment?" Robbed of child's play and innocence... replaced by waves of fear and uncertainty. Their dreams became nightmares... as echos of negative voices ooze out. " Your stupid...ugly...a loser...unworthy of love." Next followed continued play backs of bits and pieces of all manner of abuse. Then one day when it seemed all hope was gone... the ones searching for answers came upon a book called " Love Conquers All". It spoke of loving self...as well as others... of forgiveness...understanding...and peace. Steps of hope were formed...as each negative belief of self was transformed into a positive one. Friends and environment were changed to support a healthy vision...but at the same time let us not forget our own walk from darkness into the light. Help someone else in need to find their worth and value P.R. Deremer
