Book excerpt: We've all gone through pain in our lives and endured trials that greatly affected us. Sometimes we feel lost and alone, thinking nobody understands the abuse we have gone through. Our hearts cry out for help to those around us. Yet the abuse that we suffered makes us feel vulnerable and not good enough in life. The after-effects can be quite damaging. It's not always easy to see the light at the end of the tunnel. There are times that we are standing on life's edge, wondering if we will ever be free from the pain that we had in our past. But we are survivors who have come a long way in life and we are not alone. Our future doesn't have to reflect our past. Those days of abuse are gone and now we must speak out and stand strong together as survivors, sharing our stories with others. I believe we can be a light to those who are going through abuse, letting them know they are not alone. These poems are here to offer encouragement to survivors and victims. We can take back control of our lives and have a new beginning. When we believe in ourselves, we can achieve anything. Our lives are far from finished for we have come too far to quit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A diary of anguish and survival for the battered and abused. Tails of embracing the ghosts of our past that keep lasting grips on our bones. A stoutheartedness that births from facing the most difficult emotional, mental, physical, and darkest abuses most cannot fathom. This book is an unlocked chest of wounds that is another’s shame to bear, not mine. Tangled secrets kept that should be a beacon of light to guide others in the fight of their lives. Mental health, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression are merely a design of cruel burdensome oppression inflicted on innocence. I have laid bare my scars on these pages as a gift for others so that they too may free their afflictions on strengthened wings of fortitude. For all the survivors out there that were strong enough to let it all go and those still searching for courage to release their lacerations of torment.
