You Are a Warrior, Keep Fighting

Survivor's Ode

By Joy ErgangPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

You've been asking yourself ever possible question in the book.

Been taken aback when people you thought you could trust asks you the very same questions when you are trying to cope.

The trauma never truly goes away.

The pain of knowing that the monster is walking free as you continue to deal with unseen injuries.

Experiencing things that you never experienced before.

Night terrors reminding you of the unwanted place and time.

Having people tell you that it's not your fault, and telling yourself every day to convince yourself of just that.

Despite the tears, you are fighting to stay strong.

No one should ever go through something so horrendous.

It may not seem like it now, yet in time you will realize that you are a warrior.

There is no certainty that the hurt will ever go away.

Keep fighting, even when you don't feel like it.

Don't let the ease of giving up prevent you from moving forward.

You have so much life within you, despite what happened.

It's understandable that you feel so disvalued.

There is hope, and you can use that light to some how help others.

You are not alone in your battle.

It's frightening to share your story for so many reasons.

You are a survivor, and you are braver than you give yourself credit for.

You are a blessing in disguise and the world needs more of that.

Keep fighting, because you are a warrior.
