Fight, flight or freeze- BS

Life altered forever

My life could be a lifetime movie..
yet no one knows the plot.
I’ve tried so hard
I SWEAR
I’ve given all I got.
But many times I’m the one
who seems to be forgot.
By family...friends...my daughter too..
this life I dreamt
will not come true.
I’ve been in this fight;
of flight or fight
for many years..
I know!
Yet it never fails
in time of need
my body and mind
Will always freeze
like that
of arctic snow.
It’s not fair!
this mind I’ve lost
to no fault of my own.
For the mind of the man who took it
I’m sure...
His is free to roam!

My life...
has been forever altered
by this hateful turn of faith.
And never again
will I get to be
the one who gives her trust!
For mine was taken......
twisted,
and turned
Over a mans thirst for lust!

Yet I still find some hope,
And each day
I still press on.
But the wounds I have
although unseen
Will never
be gone.

The words left unspoken
Most certain are the worse
For those who speak up
Yes, yes , yes;
We
still
get
cursed.
Although it may seem hard
To stand up for
YOURSELF
Believe that you are WORTH IT
and
NEVER
give in
To guilt!

Please be kind. This is not my job, I write when I feel. It’s not grammatically correct nor should it be. I feel, I write, that is all.

i feel the pain and the struggle in the poem... the words are so poignant and so emotional too.. just hang in there and continue to be strong not for others but for yourself
