I have a dream.
I dream that one day I will be comfortable with who I am.
That one day, I’ll not only be free from abuse, but healing from it.
That I will emotionally recover from the abuse in my past.
That I can care about other people without being drawn into their chaos.
As I Dream of a brighter future I can remember the past, and acknowledge that it has helped make me strong.
As I grow comfortable with who I am, I will acknowledge what I have learned from my past.
I will carry the past forward with me, not as chains to hold me back, but as a framework on which I can build a healthier future.
I dream that one day I can have compassion without chaos.
