In The Trauma Of Abuse


In the trauma of abuse, it’s hard to see the way out,
it’s hard to see the way through our problems.
In the trauma of abuse, it seems as if all the pain
we have is squashed in the inside of us.
This pain moves down from the inside of our
heart and chest, to our head and back.
In the trauma of abuse, it’s a load to carry.
It feels as if there’s no way out and everyone that
seems to be precious to us wounds us.
In the trauma of abuse, it seems as if all hope is gone.
We can get so loaded down with depression and
deception, believing that no one cares.
The fact is: no one knows how deep you are in the trauma of abuse.
You are crying out from deep within, but you can’t
even make your tears stream down.
In the trauma of abuse, we must come to realize, we
must forgive others and ourselves daily.
Finally, we ask the Creator who made us, “help me,
I need something bigger than myself.”
In the trauma of abuse, there is a way out; we just have to
realize that we need something bigger than ourselves to help
us through this life, which can be a trauma at times.
In the trauma of abuse, we need time to think and be at ease with ourselves.
