As a new day arrives
and my feet hit the floor
Nightmares clinging in my memory
I don't know if I can take anymore
Visions of memories
always dancing in my brain
Fear for my safety
feel I am going insane
Evil people in my life
who took part of me a way
Can't escape the horror
I am the one to pay
Filled with worry
my mind won't deny
Can't control these feelings
know matter how hard I try
Trapped in a dungeon
to fearful to explore
Can't go outside alone
living can be such a chore
Demons invade daily
insanity around the bend
Hoping for some freedom
wishing for this too end
Author notes
This is about my daily life. As a survivor of abuse both child and adult, and sexual assault I have many demons to deal with everyday. Life is a battle for me if I did not have my loving family I don't know what I would do or where I would be.

I know those demons and they haunt me, too. I am about to turn 50 years old and I am still tortured by childhood abuse. This poem so hits home for those raw and disturbing emotions. Great job, my friend. Blessings, Doris

My friend,
I am a survivor of spousal abuse and I can fully understand the pain and struggles you go through. But you know, with God on our side and with supportive friends and family, we can and DO survive and in time, all you will be able to remember is the love and support you've received. I will pray for your full healing, sweetie
Much love,

I am without words to say how much this has touched my heart. the compassion I feel for you my friend is overwhelming. I only wish for you is that you could find your way to the One Who is able to erase the pain and the nightmares of your abuse. I am glad you have your family to lean on. This burden is much to much to bare alone.
