You Don't Know - A Poem

When I read through this poem, I felt like the author had been living my life. I left my abuser 2 years ago and have made a lot of progress in the healing department. Sometimes I "forget" the hell that I had been through. But when I read this poem, it felt like just yesterday. I AM SO THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE! I made the choice to leave, and now I have hope again. I feel joy. I am living life, and not constantly fearful of my husbands wrath. This poem is inspiring and I love how it gives readers hope.

I am glad you are alive too! It is great to feel alive again. I have been away from my abuser since 2004 and still deal with issues to this day but I have come a long way.
