Powerful words stick in your head
“Your fat”
“Your ugly”
“Your not ******”
“Your worthless “

You put your blinders on because
“I love him”
“What was I thinking”
“He makes me happy”

Abuse in any form is degrading
Verbal
Physically
Emotionally

Don’t be fooled by love
Look beyond the words or actions of another

I was a victim of verbal and ****** abuse
I didn’t see anything wrong until I got out of the relationship
Look further into yourself and make the right decisions

Don’t be another victim of this cruel thing called
ABUSE

Take your spot
On top of me
Let’s dive into a world of fantasy
Making music between the sheets
Whimsical and beautiful
As two lovers meet
Whisper I love you in my ear
Saying it quietly for just us to hear
Blissful and beautiful as making love
Taking is slow as a flying dove
Being so close with you in me
Forever in love we both with be

Where am I?
What happened?
Why can’t I see?
Why can’t I feel?
Why am I laying in this bed?
I sense all of you around me...
I try to wake but nothing seems right
I’m trying so hard, putting up a fight
I remember one thing as I awoke for a second
Mumbling “I’m scared”
Then falling back into deep sleep
Why can’t I move or stay awake
How much time has passed for heavens sake
I’m so confused
I’m screaming for help
But no one can hear me
As my body is just a shell
From deep within I can do anything I want
But from your perspective I’m just a sleeping ***
One thing is....
I got to see my family and friends who have passed on
Telling me they love me, to hang in there
Stay strong
To everyone looking at me while I lay in this bed
Give me some time, I’m trying to escape this shell of my body
I’m still alive, not dead....

Dig a hole
    In the ground
        Expose the roots...

That’s where you’ll find
        The root of the problem...

Just look around
And you will see
How the world is crumbling
Right beneath our feet
Make a change
Stand up for you
Write down what you feel
It’s the right thing to do
Change won’t happen
Over night
But it’s the little things
That will make this world right
...............Again........

Life is like a childhood game of
Chutes and ladders
One minute you’ll climb to the top
The next minute you’ll slide back down

The difference is whether you try again
Climb back towards the top
                        Or
Stay dormant at the bottom because you didn’t succeed the first time
              Never give up
                 Even when you fall

Dream catchers are the magic trick to capturing your nightmares or so they say

Today’s challenge....

Say something nice to someone, anyone...
    No hate
         Just love
              Make a difference
                              In the world....
Make a change
     Breakaway from the mold of society
             Be the cause to brighten up someone’s day

You are all beautiful and smart
You are all unique with art
Following your heart
