A lush oasis in the middle of a very busy town.

This is an edit of the church ceiling in Reykjavik, Iceland. Thank you for your appreciation, Gail

The trauma of abuse is never fully gone from a person's consciousness. Its filthy stain leaves its residue on the soul forever. However, like all bad experiences, it is possible to turn this experience into good by developing compassion and empathy for others who have been through this experience. Many people feel that bringing meaning to a traumatic experience is a path to healing. When I turn a negative experience into a tool that brings meaning into my life and others, I am taking the best kind of revenge on my abuser.

We open our Hearts so freely

We open our hearts so freely,

We surrender our all,

But when the bruises show,

We pretend it's just a fall.

We allow it to continue,

Each and every day,

We scream silent cries for help,

But no one hears, no one sees, no one say.

Even when we wince in pain,

We think it could get better,

Deep down we know it can't,

To them we do not matter.

Each and every day we live in fear,

Could this be our last?

In front of others we joke and laugh,

As not to show our past.

We allow ourselves to be bullied,

In every abusive way,

It happens in every shape and form,

Day after day after day.

We fear in life we fear in death,

But which of the two evils are better,

We are tormented in both,

So it doesn't really matter.

All I want is to love and be loved,

Is that too much to ask?

But every time I find it,

It becomes an impossible task.

I look all around me,

And I see it all there,

Couples so much in love,

It's more than I can bare.

I feel so alone,

Altho' friends are all around,

I open my mouth to tell them,

But nothing comes out, not a sound.

Never used to have this trouble,

Of sayin' what needed to be said,

Perhaps my mate has changed me,

By the living in fear an' dread.
