You Are Not Alone
Hearing my words are affecting those in need
Is the greatest reward indeed
Though my heart cries with each note I read
I’m thankful my message is planting seeds
Providing hope for those closed in
Giving you a voice, showing our abusers don’t have to win
I’m proud to be opening eyes to deceit and lies
Preventing this affliction on innocent lives
While our memories and scars will never completely go away
Know I share your pain and listen to what you have to say
I pray that knowing you are not alone
Will help you release and writing will be a stepping stone
Writing has been my salvation
Sharing with you has been my consolation
Helping all those in need is my liberation…
