Still Inside

Dead alive numb thats how I survied
Buried deep within still inside
Open me up what do you see
Scares pain cold hearted mean
Bruses broken dead alive 
Mind is spinning I hit the sky
Dawn approachs grass with dew
Deer running brand new
Always cold can not feel
Is this reality is this real
Can get out blocked with pain
Memories flashing making me insain
All locked up deep within
Open me up its a lions den
Dead alive numb thats how I survied

Christina ... so heartfelt and full of pain. A very emotional write that instantly grabbed my heart. If you have not already ... I encourage you to discover Kathy Parker and Nikita Gill on Facebook or Instagram. Both brilliant in their writing of overcoming abusive pasts. Looking forward to reading more from you ;) ~ Judy

As we write the numbness dissipates.

Heartbreaking write, any form of abuse is horrific and sadly leaves trauma for the rest of many people's lives.. Deep an emotive write..
