seems i make headway, then read my own blog and freak out a bit
so for now i'm back and gonna try again
i've been reading the Angela Shelton blog: http://bigmouthshelton.blogspot.com/
somehow she helps it seem ok to be vocal
i've tried many of the things she's said
that's how i was able to write the poem
She had this on this week's post
A monument is being built to survivors of abuse. (http://www.irvingstudios.com/reaching_out_america/roa_index.htm)
The monument is huge standing ten feet tall by thirty feet wide and is covered in the bronze handprints of survivors. On the inside of the monument there is room for one million handprints! So trace the outline of your hand and send it to Reaching Out America! On or around the hand then write a message of how you want the world to be for kids or a message of how you feel about abuse.
Then mail it to:
Reaching Out America
37 Bay Park Terrace
Alameda, California
94502
I did it. Somehow, it was one of the most therapeutic things I've done
It's so simple. Sometimes simple is best.
i no longer feel alone...i am part of a community
maybe one i'd rather not have been in
but since i am
i've realized i couldn't be prouder to be associated with survivors
we are awesome people
