We All Need a Hero, So That’s What We Become

The reflection you see is just the outside of who you are ,

and the truth is that it’s just the shell .

Your

beauty is ,and has always been inside your heart of hearts

Your compassion , empathy and the light that illuminates

Your soul .

You have been through so much turmoil only another survivor could see.

Many years I have avoided my reflection, because I couldn’t face what I thought was the ugly part of me .

The brokenness that broke me down still didn’t kill me

It was meant for me to write about my traumatic history.

So many times I thought I would drown ,and no one would find me or care .

I ran through the woods ,I hide under trees praying for some to save me from my misery .

Mr scars are reminder of a life That I had lived, a innocences stolen that leaves a broken pain only another survivor would know .

A hole in my heart a broken puzzle with the comforting pieces on the floor .

Flash forward to my life I am grown and I have a family of my own.

Many years a Therapy memories repressed , depression medication ,

anxiety , PTSD I wear on my sleeve .

So many others that have been or going through like me

Flash back ,flash forward my life has been a haunting maze .

I chose to take it back to finally be free ,however I walk around with the aftershock,

and the healing comes from deep within me

.

I’ve spend the rest of your life navigating my feelings why I feel the way i do ...

I am writing my my memories not in any particular order chapterX page ,not sure yet have to think it through .

My name was Alice I lived my life through others looking glasses ,so I changed it to Alyse and this is who I am .

That little girl in me found her voice I made it ,I am a true survivor just like many of you .

I found my way through the world and still have a lot to learn , however the warrior

In me will ride on with this life I will persue,because I am stronger than the criminals

And what they put me through .

NEVER GIVE UP /NEVER SURRENDER

You life is worth so much more than your past ,whether it was decades ago or days

Speak your truth ,because you deserve to be heard like me .
