#FlashbackFriday From a Shelter Resident (appeared in the 1992 Women Against Abuse Newsletter) I thought life was a struggle In my home I was abused I wasn’t allowed any freedom I fled feeling angry and confused I came to you feeling troubled Yet I tried to lock it inside It was you who saw right through me The pain I tried so hard to hide I struggled with my feelings And what I’ve been taught that I should do And when I was discouraged It was you who saw me through I know it won’t be easy With my mom it may never be the same But I know I want to be alive And I am not to blame I thank you for your friendship And for the time you spent with me For your patience and understanding In helping me to see I know it won’t be easy But somehow I’ll be okay It’s nice to know there’s someone like you To help someone like me through a very troubled day.
