The voices are gone
the doubt, the fear,
the shame, the hatred
all that is left..is me
the silence has begun
I sit here, alone in a
crowd, fighting the urge
to scream. My fight has
just begun, my misery
ready to pounce but
I am ready as well.
Day after day I fight
to keep my sanity
and hold on to who
I am. And day after
day, my demons fall.
Slowly the sensations
dim, the battle is coming
to a close, the war will
go on but this time there
is hope that healing can
begin.
I see the path ahead of me,
it’s a path of love,
wisdom and an understanding
of one’s self. The silence
has ended and my voice is
ready.
