HEALING FROM ABUSE > Moving Forward

MOVING FORWARD

Yes, you can still hurt me.
You can make me shiver.
You can even temporarily
Deprive me of my dignity.
You can make me doubt.
You can put a knife through my heart.
You can insult me.
You can put me down.
You can call me names.
You can make my tears roll down.
You can make me mute for a moment.
You can make me feel stupid or unworthy.
Yes, you can still hurt me.
 
    Yet, with my tears falling down,
          With my heart full of fears,
              With my openness held back,
                   I AM moving FORWARD!
 
                        And you can’t stop that.
