I am Me. Survivor not a victim. I have been writing poetry since my youth. I work in animal rescue. I am a mother of 4. I love that we can all express ourselves through art, whatever type it may be to let them feelings free Sunshine

Always honest
He is so true
His smile makes me smile

"I'm Selfish"

What is happening?
The thought kept racing thru my brain
What is this life I lead

Now I am so ashamed
I fucked up
