I Am A Survivor

Thursday, February 2, 2016

 

I am a survivor, standing strong on top of the mountain with my head held high, giving praise to my Higher Power for the strength I was given while I worked through this process.

 

I am a survivor that cried many tears.  

Tears that flowed so gracefully down my cocoa cheeks onto my pillow so many nights.

 

I am a survivor that was lost for a long time and needed to be found and comforted.

I needed to be held tightly and reminded that I was loved, I was lovable, and I was capable of loving.

 

I am a survivor that had a story that needed to be told, needed to be heard, needed to be believed.

I needed to learn to trust again.

I had a story and people wanted to listen and help,.

I just had to find the right person that was willing to hear my story that could help.

 

I am a survivor that can and will take the power back and use it to help other women and children.

No one deserves to be hurt and victimized.

We are all worthy of happiness.

We all deserve to be respected.

We all deserve to live a life where we feel safe and do not live in fear.

 

I am a survivor.

I refuse to call myself a victim.

I was victimized, but I survived.

Everyday I choose to wake up and work through my pain and recovery.

I am taking back my power.

 

I am a survivor!
