i remember too many things
that most deem perverse
yet it's shaped who i am
others had it worse
now i'm grown and gnarled yes
those knots were gained honorably
and somehow through my hardship life
my soul remained intact and free
i wish to inspire others too
to live and know they're gifts
even if life hands them down
hardship strife and grief
they can overcome it all
rise pheonix like and know
they've faced the trials, walked in blood
it made their soul grow
in compassion understanding love
for they can understand
the evil lurking inside the hearts
of many our fellow man
they can help others too
who've faced demons in their lives
let them know they're not alone
they've friends on they're side
help victims find their true worth
help them love their scarred soul
so they can embrace fractured hearts
help others to become whole
for i believe our memories
of hardship can be used
to relieve the suffering
of those who've been abused
Please tell me what you think

Definately a great job on this...
You help the reader to realize the sadness and hardships that felt and how they should be forgotten because even though they are bad they still make you who you are.
I also commend you on showing that what you learned from what you went through can be used to turn and help others that are going through bad times as well.
Nicely done! -
beautiful, a little sad, a little happy. i must say, it wasnt what i accepted, but at the same its a lovely way to describe yourself.

dark sides or light are stil part of who you are so accept them both and be happy with them.
