I Have Survived

by ForeverYoung   Jan 6, 2007


A voice, a vision, a spark, a flame
Now its time to look beyond the shame
I've opened the door and faith stepped in
Finaly im ready for my life to begin
Beyond the silence the shame the fear
I've grown through the pain that brought me here
I'm learning to live through the laughter and tears
To trust myself and confront my fears
Learning again to feel, to guide
I have been damaged but have no reason to hide
Although i still strugle, but i have survived
I am once again glad to be alive

*This poem is about my recovering from a sexual assault, early last year plz vote and comment
thanks Steph
