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.

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.

These poems express the feelings that this young survivor experienced at the hands of sexual, physical and emotional abuse. These poems talk about the abuse of my father, my uncle Walter, my uncle Raymond, my mother and her previous boyfriends, and my father's tricks that he brought home from the bar. I'm hoping that with me expressing my abuse through my poetry, that I can give a young or old person a chance at some hope. I decided that it was time for the world to know exactly what kind of people my abusers really were. I also figured this was my chance to tell my story, my way, without fearing what my abusers might think. This is my time to stand up and feel proud of the young woman I taught myself to be. My goals for writing this book are to let children know that it is not ok to be abused, that they should tell someone if they are. Also I want a chance to feel proud that I finally finished something that I set out to do. I believe that if people take time to trust their gut instincts that they will be able to find the appropriate treatment for their issues. If they do this, they will feel a huge change in how they feel about themselves.

The poems are entered in chronological order of a tragic rape of a college girl and two males who she thought she could trust. It reveals the dark shadows of the event, the aftermath of her struggle, and the peace she has now found. She is going from dark to light, sad to happy, unhealthy to healthy. The thoughts of those nights haunt her for months and make her wonder what her future will consist of, if she can overcome this hurt and betrayal, and even when she wanted to give up she gave herself a little hope. The unfortunate situations appear in her thoughts and sometimes haunt her dreams. From the Dark shadows also includes a poem the girl wrote for a person near and dear to her heart. The two individuals can help one another with their healing process. That girl is me. Through creative writing (poetry), I have helped heal myself. I have overcome my rape and now can say I have grown from victim to survivor.

What started as a coping skill has now been transformed into an unfiltered, telling collection of words to help other victims and survivors begin to find peace, hope, and healing.
