HOW MANY TIMES MUST I CRY? HOW MANY TEARS MUST I SHED BEFORE SOMEONE TAKES THE TIME TO CARE ENOUGH TO LOVE ME? HOW MANY CUTS WILL IT TAKE TO ERASE MY PAIN? HOW MANY YEARS OF THERAPY WILL I HAVE TO ENDURE? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE I PUSHED AWAY JUST TO BE "IN LOVE" WHAT IS LOVE? HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE CRIED BECAUSE OF ME? HOW MANY PRAYERS MUST I SAY TO BE UNANSWERED LOOKING FOR GUIDANCE? HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TRUST TO BE HURT? HOW MANY TIMES CAN I PICK MYSELF UP AGAIN? HOW MANY WAYS CAN I DIE?

BUT MOST OF ALL

HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD CARE IF I WERE DEAD?

DEPRESSION HAS EATEN AWAY AT ME TO THE POINT I HAVE NO SENSE OF SELF WORTH. I AM WORTH EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW. NOTHING. I AM AN EMPTY SHELL, A VISIONLESS PILOT WITH NO DESTINATION. WHAT AM I ALIVE FOR? GOOD GOD, IVE BEEN BEATEN, STABBED, SHOT, RAPED, FORGOTTEN, REPLACED, ,CUT, BRUISED, BROKENHEARTED, BEATEN UP, AND EVEN TOLD I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ABORTION... BY MOM & DAD. YA, THANKS TO THEM. BUT WHY? WHY STAND UP YET AGAIN? HOW MANY TIMES DO I STAND BEFORE I FINALLY SAY ENOUGH?!?!?!?!?!?!

Every sunrise brings a new beginning. Each day should be your new beginning. Leave all of you baggage in the past where it belongs live for the now without the burden of times gone past. Those times cannot hurt you now UNLESS you let them!!! Let them go.. Each day take a little step forward, just a little one. I'll be praying for you. Be well.

I have sat here and pondered why you should say enough is enough and well I couldnt come up with any. Things that happened in the past are the past. They will leave scars on you that will remain forever but that is so you can correct the mistakes of your past and to correct them is to not repeat them. Your young and one day you will hopefully become a mother and you know what you have gone through so you will fight tooth and nail to keep your babies from having to endure the same trama that you have been forced to be put through.

With each day brings a new beggining and its time to start to let the wounds heal and not reopen them so that they can become healthy scars on your soul. I choose to heal my wounds by reaching out to others about all the crap I have been through. I choose to heal the wounds by protecting my babies from the crap my mother put me through. I refuse to become my mother. I refuse to pen my children down like I was by the mother beast. So that way when I send them out into the world they can be humans without wounds.
