I know how it feels to be unwanted ignored, made fun of and taunted beat up, spit on, embarrassed and disgraced abandoned betrayed and things thrown in my face denied, discouraged, used, then abused So before you say a word, think twice 'Cause I have nothing left to lose ! I've been disappointed, lied too and falsely accused Tattled on, rattled, 'till...

I’m Still Here, And I Will Shake You
"I’m Still Here, And I Will Shake You" I’ve walked roads you wouldn’t whisper about. Where shadows don’t follow, they lead. Where the air tastes like sorrow and the silence presses like a loaded gun against your temple at 3 a.m. The dirt remembers me. It groans where I nearly gave up, where the weight of my own breath felt like betrayal. You want real? Not...

SURVIVAL MANUAL OF A SURVIVOR
Sleepless nights keep piling up. Always in a foul mood, I poison myself with nicotine, caffeine, ethanol, and cannabinoids. I live like a hedonist with suicidal urges. I won’t bequeath my body to science. The wreck will be too battered by my twilight. One life, one ride—no concessions, no compromise. I'm on alert, constantly in crisis mode. I sleep with the windows open,...

The Mask
The Mask You hooked me with your charming ways And I fell hard and fast. I couldn’t have believed you If you said it wouldn’t last. I didn’t know what hit me when you started with your scorn. What should have been my harbor, quickly became my storm. I tried and tried to please...

Learning to Survive
The sheer curtains dance Casting shadows on the wall From the open window A gentle breeze whispers its call. The hum of a fan Sings a soulful song Breaking the silence That trapped me so long. Minutes turn to hours Hours turn to days The healing is lost In a foggy haze. I hide in the dark Afraid to live Succumbing to the anger The...

Premium Member I Am A Survivor
Thirty years ago, my life fell apart/ I became fallen and forgotten/ All my friends abandoned me/ For years, those tears poured/ All those tears formed an ocean/ For a crime I never committed/ For all I lost in life/ My religion is different/ I face religious hatred for years/ My faith is unwavering/ My heart is unwavering/ I face so much hate in my life/ I...

Survivor
In a faraway place sits an old man living in an old old block of flats. A group of tabby cats gather outside, basking lazily in the warm sunshine. He watches peacefully as people walk past; Quarrelling siblings, loving couples. He sits there as he has done for years but nobody knocks. Wearily the old man turns and watches his friends' faces in the...

Survivor
I still remember the day you stole my innocence away. The world shifted— colors drained from golden light to endless shadow. It started as a simple conversation, slowly pulling me down to your basement. I was only 13 years old when you left me to walk home on shaking legs. At first, I thought I deserved it— because fear stole my words before...

The Monologue of the Survivor
A piece for those trying to smile While walking The longest of miles (A lone voice whispers) I have loved my life Called it a thousand names As I fought through pain All its gifts are mine They all reside deep inside For I'm illuminated I feel everything around and within Even when I’m defeated I feel sacred I bathe in the perpetual glow Of a...

Is it easy to look back on the trauma of past It’s like taking the knife out my back It cuts going both ways creating path Oh but we cried oh but we laughed Little girls playing with dolls in the basement Unaware of monsters and dangers that cement The innocence taken and breaking me within He was in his teens I...
