stories

hide & seek

jason's story

now i am not ashamed!

my story

a client's story

fruition to butterfly

killing me softly

a letter

butterfly

prose

surfacing

you are not alone

music

in your skin

tomorrow came

poems

a question

blind

breathing in the dark

broken wings

but I will survive

different

dustbin

fragments

from little girl

healing service

hell

hitting a bad patch

i am not alone

i was a child

in my dreams

inside

janet's socks

kumbaya

last thing at night

listen to me

mama's coming home

one day

pervy pete

dissociation

true colours

waiting to exhale

what longs to be free

who am i

you, him and me

you

walk towards love

 

But I will survive

 


I live in fear
Your voice I still hear
In the dark of the night
I lose my fight

I can’t let this go
Can’t rise from this low
My days grow black
I can’t turn back
My day comes to close
With the fatal dose
It won’t let me go
Please let me go
This pain is too much
My head swirls in the rush

I must stay and fight
My chest becomes tight
You raise your hand
It’s time to make my stand
I fall like a child
Against you, I’m weak and mild
I scream for the end

My mind will never mend
My soul broken
My innocence stolen
My time will come
Yours will be done
Looking eye to eye
Now who’s longing to die

You did wrong
For far too long
Now I live on
Now I am strong
With an army behind me
They all agree

My day has come
Yours is done
I will forever remember
But I will survive.
