One day when I was overwhelmed with anxiety about my family being torn apart from domestic violence. I really only had one friend at the time. My entire so called church/cult family abandoned me because I was a “back slider”. This poem is what my soul said to me. #flowlikewater
Survivor
you are a survivor girl stand up and be strong
you’ve made it through hard times
made it through the storms
girl you’re a survivor stand up and be strong
been through bad marriages
the let downs of the dreams
been through it all girl
but you’re still here
so it seems you can’t make it
seems you can’t see your way
but girl you survived
through it all till this day
so if you’ve made it this far girlfriend
go head on and be strong
you’re a survivor
you hung in there this long
gone girl with your bad self
you know what you can do, just try it
just believe in your self
don’t wait for somebody to tell you
that you can make it through
you know what you have got to do girl
reach deep down inside yourself
pull out what has been there for so long
girl whatever it took to make through
that bad marriage to a drug addict
whatever it took to be married to a wife beater
whatever it took to be abused,
misused, rejected neglected and put down
lied to and talked about
you made it through
you held your head up high and you kept on going
girl you can do it all you got to do is standup and be strong
you are a survivor girl, go ahead on
