I am a survivor of abuse. I have been through almost everything you can imagine, and I have survived.
Going through some of my old poems to post, I realized how many were sad, or full of self-loathing, or full of hatred. I realized how badly my past had affected my present. Then I stopped and took a look at my life now.
I have gotten better. I'm not saying I don't still battle with negativity at times. i am human; I will always have to fight myself to stay positive. But it is a fight I am willing and ready to fight. I am worth the fight to happiness. I deserve to smile and laugh and love.
And so do you.
