Scars

I am glad that you have been able to escape the hold that abuse has had on you and really life your life. Be sure to write about it for others to see and be reminded of the fact that abuse of all kinds still exists in this world. Thanks for sharing. Sara K

Positive vibes, love this one, Alexis:)

Coming from your heart, dear Alexis. Some scars take time to heal. Once freed from their pain, freed for ever. Through grace, your heart is now healed and your tears, dried. Beautiful poem.

Love it, great inspirational poem for all to seek this peace, joy and love that has showered unto you , : )

I am glad you are free and have overcome so much adversity.. may your life be full of positivity and blessings..

It's so nice that you're free, Alexis. God is a wonderful friend, always willing to help. With Him, darkness cannot prevail, because He is the light. Blessings and hugs

You aced both the form and the substance ,my friend. Highly emotive verse succinctly delivered. No doubt a top winner, Alexis.

Looooove this. People may never understand how abuse affects a person even well after it stops. Often triggers can bring back memories or feelings related to the abuse. It's not that we are damaged it is the abusers who are. Our body and mind are coping the way it knows how. With God support and tool we can overcome both the stigmas and the abuse. Thanks for writing this! You rock Alexis.

Hallelujah Alexis….l was so happy to read that last line and sooo happy you are free of it now and no longer weep. You deserve happiness and freedom my lovely! An honest heart write beautifully told! Cuddles galore….Debx

A powerful write. Glad you are now free. Have a blessed day writing away................

It is disgraceful for a man to hit a woman. Luckily you found a solution. Blessings

- Sad to have to hide ... but, most people do ... a sensitive poem, Alexis - hugs

A real heartfelt poem and well written Alexis. Well done to you. I’m so pleased to read the last line. Hugs to you. :):)

Im loving the depth of this poem and the rhymes and how you’ve written in a very resonating manner. So many hide their pain, as scars of abuse run deep. To be able to let go of all that is an achievement one which deserves to be heard about, someday, there will be light. No longer will we weep. Love it

Bravo for speaking out Alexis, of course not all scars are visible and people can wear masks to hide their true emotions. excellent poem:-) hugs Jan xx
