TransformationOne of the most difficult struggles I have had during my healing journey is to give voice to my inner emotional turmoil. My writings and poems are one of my ways of finally expressing the pain I felt in the past (which of course is still trapped inside fighting to be expressed now), and a way for me to work through some of my present confusions.

NOTE: Please be safe when reading some of this material. Sexual abuse is a serious and very tragic crime leaving it's survivors emotionally torn and tortured.
The material I have shared here, as expressions of my pain and struggle, is very graphic. I hope that you are able to ensure your safety and support while reading from this page. If you start to feel overwhelmed, that is normal. But, please stop reading and switch to an activity that brings you happiness and returns peace.


There is an option to respond to any of my writings, or I would love for you to post your own writings of expression here (It doesn't have to be expressions from healing from childhood sexual abuse. We all have our wounds to heal from).

Express Away

NOTE: If you scroll down to just below the box to add a new thread, you will see the option to see all of the created threads to date. There are many different pieces here to explore (I think close to 100 to date), but they don't all show on the first page. Also, you may have to scroll through the posts like this to find something you write when you re-visit the page on a later date.

My soul is lost
somewhere in a corner
while my body lies frozen

I drift into nothingness
avoiding all sensation
as the betrayal goes on

A void filled mass
moves on commmand
with no choice of my own

Don't remember how it starts
Don't remember when it ends
Only remember the emptiness

A string on a kite flying high in the breeze
A thousand butterflies danced free from your heart
Spring rang free with zillions of colors everywhere
Water has never tasted so pure, so divine, so renewing
Father Sky has the bluest eyes you've ever seen
Mother Earth's carpet of grass is the truest green of all
The four winds - how they tickle your hair and whisper to play.
How you search for a hill to roll down.
Balloon set free from your heart and hand,
floating high and higher still
taking a million miles of memories along for the ride
to a better place of healing, time to start feeling.
FEELING ALIVE.....
BREATHE IN.....That pain is going away
BREATHE OUT....to make room for better days.
Skies so blue, seas so green, how come before we could never see?
Close your eyes and now open again and see, all is anew...waiting for you.

Don't get too close to me
I'm infected , I'm a disease,
for your own sanity
keep away from me please .

Scorched Earth and shadows silently mix ,
ashes , apocalypse awaken a phoenix !
Happiness doesn't have to have an expiry date ,
nothings written , embrace hope and undo fate .

My mind is a battlefield ,
there is no cover ,
I erupt from cocoon-like rags .

My smile is my shield ,
my happiness is my armour ,
laughter and joy are my flags .
