The Healing Journey
I am a victim
And I refuse to believe that
I can overcome the symptoms of PTSD
I realize that this may be a shock, but
I will heal my pain
Is a lie
My life is hopeless
In 30 years, I will tell my children that
I have my priorities straight because
Hatred
Is more important than
Love
I tell you this:
Once upon a time
I was strong
But this will not be true in my era
I am a failure
Experts tell me
I am unlovable
I do not conclude that
I will be loved
In the future,
I will lose the battle
No longer can it be said that
I am worthless
It is foolish to presume that
I am a survivor
And all of this will come true unless we reverse it.
