A life ruined

After so many years

Of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse

But from the wreckage

What can I salvage

I salvage

My battered and bruised heart

I pick up the pieces of my broken life

Put the back together

And make a brand new start

I am not a victim

I am a survivor

I am a warrior

I strive to make life better.

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts.  It is very appreciated.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Manyofus1980@gmail.com

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
