Constant Struggle

They say love is love and hate is hate, but what lies there in between? I constantly struggle 
to figure out where I am supposed to be. A struggle day to day to find myself and who I truly 
am. They say that everything happens for a reason, but what about molestation and rape? 
Struggling to regain the things that have been taken away from me since I was eleven. My 
self-esteem has been broken and it is a constant struggle to get back the confidence that was 
rudely taken away from me. I shouldn't have to be afraid and worry constantly. My day to 
day life has became a constant struggle to get through in life, thanks to not having any one 
who cares about me. I try to make it on my own, but it is a constant struggle and I know I 
have to stay strong.
