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. (Now read the poem from the bottom to the top.)
