NEVER GIVE UP


If you know what it's like to lose everything you once had, trying to rebuild your life is so hard.

Remember the time you thought you'd never survive?

Watching others go by enjoying their lives.


Life will carry on throwing more worries and woe, its time to stay calm and let them all go.


If you don't leave your past it may well destroy you so look to pastures new, and go and enjoy them. The future belongs to those believe, and gives them the guidance that they need. So instead of falling apart, why not follow your heart.



THE WAITING


When I reported a Crime in July 2019, I thought today everything would be fine, but case's like mine, just don't happen overnight, the police have to make sure, that they do everything right, to get offenders like mine put out of sight.


Everyday is a painful battle, waiting for the greatest news of all.

I feel anxious, angry but mainly sad, being let down by someone who was supposed to be my Dad.


I can't eat, I barely sleep, I feel so useless and weak, knowing my abuser is still roaming the street, my mind is stuck on repeat.


WHY?


Why has my life become such a mess, when all I do is try my best? Why are there days when the tears don't show? When other days they just overflow?


Why can't I figure out the hellish mess that keeps filling up my head? Why can't I erase all the horrible things he said? Why do I feel really sad?, and keep thinking, That I am going mad.


Why did my spiteful Father completely ruin my whole life, then carry on with his own life, as everything was alright? Now everyday I face a painful fight. I'm just keeping everything crossed, He gets locked up out of sight.


So many questions asking Why, to most I have no reply,

One question, I do know the answer for sure.

Once I'm gone I will ask No more.
