A poem from a survivor

A beautiful poem that i recieved from a survivor she wrote at age 11, while being abused
The child with in has blood on her hands from banging on the door, no one will
listen no way out into her heart is tore.
like a rose cloaked in darkness by the snow, there is no understanding no love
to help her grow. once a beautiful leaf now crushed and falling to the ground at
the sound of her abusers command.

i wrote this when i was 11 years old...i am a survivor!

Why i want to be your Mrs. OKlahoma Plus America

1 in 3 girls and 1 in 7 boys will be sexually abused before the age of 18......i know these statistics are startling but, the reality is that it happens.....and it happened to me.
that is why i have dedicated my life to "Breaking the silence of child sex abuse" and helping adult survivors overcome their past abuse. My goals are not only to educate parents and caregivers on the signs and symptoms of abuse, but to help people understand that most of the time symptoms from this form of abuse dont show up until later in life. syptoms can include Post tramatic sress disorder, OCD, Eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse, and the MOST DEVESTATING OF ALL: sometimes the victim becomes the abuser
