Im definitely not an expert at writing poetry but I try *smiling*

Battered, torn and bruised

My past I cant escape

But I refuse to let my abusers – fill my heart with hate.

---

They tried to keep me down

But Im much stronger than they thought

Cause here I still stand – a great battle I have fought.

---

My trials and tribulations have been placed in His hands

To have made it this far in life,

I know there’s nothing I cant withstand.
