She stands alone in a darkened place
Familiar thoughts of shame disgrace

Consumed with guilt
Self loathing surrounds

The love of self
No where to be found

Self esteem dispersed
Asunder
No hope no dreams
No eyes of wonder

Encompassed by these chains that bind
Her thoughts beliefs controlled by the mind
Her actions governed from deep within
Trauma fear dissociation

A monotonous cycle hard to break
Yet possible
If sound advice you take
Your destruct button must stay on hold
Look deep within your very soul

Your thoughts about yourself must change
To allow harmful  actions rearrange
Take care
A new relationship begin
Persevere don't give in

Reverse your thoughts
Of self
Be kind
Leave
All the hurt and pain behind


Do not stay down
Instead stand tall

(Learning to love yourself)        

Is

The

Greatest

Love

Of

All. X
