I will be heard

Life's got me in a chokehold, but it's not the same asphyxiation that I crave. I loathe when pouring my heart out is seen as "very brave" When it's not bravery that compells me, But hope. Hope for a better future for those who relate And some kind of catharsis for my pain. It does not take bravery to tell a story, but bravery to be the one who lives through it.

I can totally empathize with you. As a child I and my siblings were subjected to much abuse. You boldly speak for all of us. Your poem is well written
