The story

a poem a wrote to my stepmum who abused me

Dear abuser,

How are you able to sleep at night?

After what you've done

All the anger and pain you've caused

The things you put me through

Dear abuser,

Are you happy now?

Breaking and bending teenagers spirt

Leaving wounds deeper than skin

Dear abuser,

How can you live with yourself?

Forcing teenagers to run away as their only other choice was death

Mentally and physically injuring them in the process

Dear abuser,

Does it feel good to get your way?

Is it everything you wanted?

Was it worth all the pain and suffering you caused?

Dear abuser,

I hope your happy now

I hope it was all worth it

The pain you put me through hasn't broken me

Dear abuser,

I know you will never get what you deserve

But this is my way of getting justice

I hope you read this one day

And realise its about you

Dear abuser,

I hate you.

Yours truly,

A survivor

i just read your poem and i gotta say: it's really heavy stuff it gives this vivid picture of the emotional turmoil and the trauma that goes beyond just physical scars... hope you've found some peace despite all that and that writing this was cathartic for you in some way... ❤️

hey i just stumbled across your poem and i honestly feel for you but i gotta say when we're caught in the storm of all that negativity it's so easy to see it as all-consuming isn't it??? honestly i remember when i was in a rough spot myself and thought i'd never get out either but you know what recovery and growth are totally a nonlinear journey;;; there were times i seriously questioned everything but over time i did see a shift in my mindset it's impressive how resilient we can be and i reckon you'll find that inner strength too it's empowering to share such personal experiences and shed light on the psychological impact trauma can have but also remember healing is possible smile through the rain you might just find the rainbow eventually 😊
