Recovery

One-step at a time- I am getting closer.
Each day is a challenge but I am getting there
Even with the memories that take over me.
The events still linger in my head;
But recovery is near.

PTSD- Post traumatic stress disorder
The memories still consume me.
The abuse, rape, the anguish, the tears.
It still is all contained inside of me.

One-step at a time- I am getting closer
Freedom is right around the bend.
The pain will no longer linger in my soul
The horror will no longer chill me to the bones.
Each step is a beginning to something brand new.

Each day is a challenge that I face
Each step I take a landmark
I am making my breakthrough to something amazing
The amazement I call�"recovery.
