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

my journey

prose

my storm, my battle, my win

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

enough's enough...fighting back!!

even though people may not believe

fragments

from little girl

healing service

hell

hitting a bad patch

i am not alone

i was a child

in my dreams

it will fade

inside

janet's socks

kumbaya

last thing at night

listen to me

mama's coming home

new frontiers

one day

pervy pete

dissociation

rose tinted spectacles

the untold truth

they're not all the same

true colours

waiting to exhale

what longs to be free

who am i

you, him and me

you

walk towards love

when will it be time?

 

Walk Towards Love

 

 

I have to walk away, now is the time, I walk towards love, big love, freefall, feel it, it's like flying.

This love all around that connects me to the sky.

My mind was stolen back then and I was given a being that was nothing to do with me. She was called victim.

I have toiled for a long time to be free from her, I could not see how brainwashed she was. But layer by layer I have been shown that she was hiding all this time.

 

She is out in the open now, she is breathing, she sees it all, it will not be any different, no matter how hard she tries to change it.

She really was that alone. She has to feel it; there was no one there to protect her. They looked the other way, they knew, she was forever labelled victim to keep them safe from their truth.

I am crying the tears of that child, there is no happy ending with mummy and daddy, there never will be.

I was alone. Yes, I have myself finally; I am here for me with the greatest love. It is pure and sweet and simple and quiet and gentle.

I walk away from what was given to me; I walk away from my cage.

I committed to myself to do whatever it took to do this, years ago. The child I was deserved nothing less.

Make the commitment to yourself, walk to the love inside of you and know it is your right.
