Surviving
S is for the sexual abuse I endured
U is for the unknown answer of why
R is the reality of it, but longing for the readiness to go on
V is for the very innocence that was stolen long ago
I is for the innocent child I was
V is for the vulnerable child I was, but am not now
I is for the "I", I have become
N is for not letting go of hope and courage to heal
G is for God and the greater things he has in store for me.
