FROM AGONY TO ECSTASY
(one woman’s journey)

A child doesn’t always understand
                     the consequences of a reprimand.
Those who deliver it,
                                are often misunderstood.
The ever changing discrepancies of parenthood.

The ways in which a child will live
                                is not always repetitive.
As a child,  
                    I too was extremely abused.
There has since been a change
                               in how discipline is used.
My mother died when I was a child of two,
                     leaving me without a sibling
                                           to shuffle life through.
Abuse emerged,
                     to engage a complete odyssey,
         of physical, sexual, and most of all emotionally.
External harm done
                         will eventually fade away,
but when ones spirit is broken,
                                                    it’s a lifetime to stay.
It preceded the marriage
                                              of my dad and step mom,
at eight,
           I became the OTHER woman,
                                          one could not fathom.
After five years I was sent to a home.
                                At sixteen was married,
                                                      with a life of my own.
Now as I look back,
                    I can not blame them.
They too, were confused
                             in their world of shear mayhem.
They let go of self,
                             letting life run its course.
They let go of God,
                             leaving Satan as the source.
I gained so much in experience
                                 in this life I had to live.
I’ve been there and back
                    and now have
                              so much to give.

Only GOD has helped me through
                                           this life I now love.
Helping others with their lives
                                           many disapprove of.
God has truly blessed me
                                 with this wondrous gift,
of enabling others
                                 find HIS ability to uplift.
If what I’ve endured
                              can save someone’s day,
by preventing it learned
                               in the same way.
THEN,
         all I’ve learned
                      and endured in pain,
has reason and need
                      and not gone in vain.
I could not understand or help others to combat,
                                      if I had not already been there
and done all that.
