The Unveiling

I hid from pain, just to survive,

Buried my feelings, barely alive.

Healing demanded I face the past—Terrified,

wondering how long it would last

My inner child lingers in shadowed halls,

SSA survivors silent, behind guarded walls.

Emotional wounds buried deep in my core

Suppressed feelings, never free to soar.

Now as an adult I enter the flames,

Unveiling the scars means unveiling the pain.

Its scary to feel what I once ignored,

Yet the journey of healing is finally explored.

Though fear and anger I truly dread,

I find the courage to voice what’s unsaid.

The cost of emotion—so deep, so vast

Will feeling my feelings let happiness last?

I search for light in darkness profound,

Haunted by trauma’s echoing sound.

Longing for peace in a mind that’s torn,

Surviving abuse—I am bravely reborn
