I am Me. Survivor not a victim. I have been writing poetry since my youth. I work in animal rescue. I am a mother of 4. I love that we can all express ourselves through art, whatever type it may be to let them feelings free Sunshine

God Knocked On My Heart

I wear my scars proudly
I learned to find the sunshine
Even when it's cloudy
They set me in the desert
Left me there to dry

God knocked on my heart

Bet That We Will

I believe women belong inside a man's arms
Wrapped in his wings and protected

To know love, you must know hate
Happiness is felt by overcoming sadness

At times life can throw some cold blows
Make you feel your lowest of lows
Being a human carries it's own shame
For so many take this life for the fame
Ashamed of who we are sometimes
Only God knows our countless crimes
You have to have dark to...

Today We Honor The Dead

A day to honor those who have passed
No grief or anguish
A blessing to live
One life to the next
Forever in our hearts
Your memories and wisdom
Forever in my mind
Your riddles to this game of life
My hope one day
To feel you again
