Although I am young I have traveled many roads
I have experienced my share of horror
But, the pain I've endured makes my heart beat harder and my soul grow stronger.

At the age of three,
my dignity was taken from me.
At the age of six,
I saw the world through tainted eyes.
The age of ten,
I had grown cold from daily life.
By the age of fifteen,
I had endured pain no one should feel.
The age of seventeen,
my attitude was cynical as I felt unworthy to the world around me.

But now that each new day passes
I have lived through rape, abuse, and trauma.
And through my pain my soul grows stronger
Because I choose to live my life by these words
"That which does not kill us makes us stronger!"

*you can deal with pain in your own way~some things are just harder to get over!*

You are the difference. A survivor and no longer a victim. My grandchildren live with me, victims no more....... Anytime, anything just holler...... Suz

Blessed be and merrily met with good thoughts and feelings to all

sorry that you had to face all that, but you had to courage to rise about it. Thanks for sharing. Hope all is well now.

This was a VERY impressive piece of writing. Although it wasn't good on the technical side, the message was fantastic. You are an extremely strong person, by the looks of what you've written here. You've very smart too. Although no one should have to go through what you've gone through, it seems that you have turned it into something strengthening and building, for yourself. I admire that as much as I do this poem.

Thank you I hope that people will know that just because you have had bad things that happen to you doesn't mean you have to let it get the best of you!

You are obviously an incredibly strong person for having survived such ordeals. For being able to write about being a stronger person, I commend you.

Well done on the piece.

Wow hun, this was truly remakable. Good job.
But I must say that it does suck that the things in life that make us stronger are the things that hurt us the most

Amazing.....you really show an admirable strength for living through things. I am happy you brought this here because it really shows a wonderful example of how strong somebody can be.....you seem to be a wonderful person. I surely hope to see more of your work.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Thank you both for the compliment. It is sad I agree that the things we grow from are the things that hurt us the worst!

*that what does not kill us makes us stronger!*

*Everyone can deal with pain in their own way, some things are just harder than others!*
