[hometext] => this is a glimpse into my struggles and my life. if it helps you, please feel free to share.
[bodytext] => The words in my head Are different from my heart My life turned upside down I don't know where to start Being molested as a child To a cutter as a teen It is no wonder I started smoking green By the age of twenty I was raped twice In this game of life I rolled unlucky dice Needing a fresh start So I could be my best I hopped on a plane That was headed out west I joined the navy And began to grow I was so happy You could see my glow Weeks turned to months Months turned to years I enjoyed it so much I left behind all my fears Then one night I was out with friends He decided to rape me That's where the good ends For two months I hid the truth All the feelings rushed back From my time as a youth NCIS didn't believe me They thought it was a lie I felt as small as an ant I just wanted to die A year and a half later I get out as retired Everyone thinks it is awesome I feel like I got fired I get kicked out While he stayed in That isn't fair Why did he win Battling several mental illnesses Takes a toll on my soul I can't help but feel My life is what they stole But somewhere deep Inside of me I have the strength to fight So I can be free Free of this torment And free from the shame I need this strength To know I'm not to blame No child asks To be molested Nothing that we did Made it even suggested Then to finally grow up And have it happen even more Sometimes I can't control it Thoughts of being dead on the floor But as I am writing this I am standing tall I might be a bit broken But I refuse to fall I want to share my story I want to let it be known If you are struggling with a mental illness You are not alone I've struggled with suicide For a few years My pillow caught Over a million tears From pills to a rope I carefully thought out a plan I wanted it to be over I didn't give a damn I seriously thought about it Then realized there is more to life I'm so lucky to be alive Because I found a beautiful wife If you are struggling with suicide Please reread about my life Know you will be missed So put away that knife Please don't give in To the demons inside We need to stand together To show them we have nothing to hide The struggle is real It is a fight every night Please just remember Everything will be alright [comments] => 5 [counter] => 183 [topic] => 65 [informant] => sbhottie288 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
