Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Healing Deserved

Thank you for your visits to this motivational series.  I appreciate the visits and comments.  This may be the last of the series for now, as I take a break with other poems.  Then, I may continue.

This poem is for anyone who has experienced, trauma, tragedy or abuse.

#9:  Motivational Series

Healing Deserved

I know it seems at times, there may be no way out of the pain
Abuse and trauma can change a life, bringing spells like the rain
Sometimes the skies are so dark, if you are reliving horrible things
It may be difficult to hear anything out there that sings
The feeling may be that no-one could ever understand
It truly does take someone to stand in your shoes on this land
Maybe you’ve been told hundreds of times, things will get better
Yet, it may not feel that way even with a loving letter

All I can say is, abuse and trauma to anyone is so wrong!
Every human is worthy of hearing the beautiful song!
The song of life that brings joy, in that place you belong
I’m here to tell you, I made it through the darkest doom
Things that you can’t just sweep away with a broom!
But I am just like you, hoping for the best in life to be
At my doorstep, each morning with beauty to see
Whoever you are, you are deserving of love, safety, healing!
All of this is possible, no matter what it is you are feeling!

Tom Cunningham January 9, 2019 at 1:58 PM Sadly we cannot erase painful past experience's, but only convince victims that they are special, and that we are all equal as human beings. Another great write Heidi and I hope that it is helping you come to terms with the past. Tom. Heidi Sands January 9, 2019 at 2:00 PM Thank you Tom. The series is not just for me. I have been dealing with the past a long time and as you once said, the scars remain, so it is a process throughout life. But I wanted to be a voice for all victims and reach out. I appreciate your visits to this series very much. Thank you :)

Carolyn Devonshire January 9, 2019 at 1:46 PM If we could only convince abuse victims that they are worthy and deserve better, maybe some of them could leave abusive relationships. Doesn't work for children, but there are lots of others it would help. Nice series, Heidi, on an important topic. Hugs, carolyn Heidi Sands January 9, 2019 at 1:58 PM Hi Carolyn. Sadly there are many types of abuse, children, battered relationships as adults, physical, mental and verbal. Etc. I used to assist running a battered women's support group and was able to see them leave atrocious situations. We have to be a voice when any abuse is noticed with children. Action must be taken. Thank you very much :)
