Finding Taylor

I play with my rock I smell essential oils I grab a banket Two more minutes pass Deep breath in, and then exhale Almost time to start Then we each check-in We cry and laugh together Pain, joy, victory Tears look like healing Support, comfort, compassion  I am not so alone

He chased like a wolf I fought like hell to survive Wounds bandaged tightly

Not all mom’s mother Not all parents will parent Not all homes are safe

Some things can’t be fixed We empower and believe Then strive for healing

“You are safe and loved” “You’re worthy of protection” “You are not alone”   Mom fights for her voice to be louder than his lies she will win the fight   with nods and gestures Ice skating, pool and laughter Dad heals all the wounds   reminds me why I fight through panic, tears and…

I feel so alone Surrounded by family Where do I belong?

I know you’re trying Asking for help is so hard Be brave. It’s worth it.

Believe, Empower It only takes one person To change someone’s life

Why are you crying? This really isn’t that bad She’s just dramatic   The pain you feel Please, tell me. Tell me how I feel. Don’t bother asking   You don’t want to know You don’t want the answer You’ll see a person

I know what it’s like To beg God to take your life I do not judge you
