How do I

Cope with the truth

That things aren’t the way they should be and now I’m trapped with no hope in sight.

As the day goes by and things are moving faster than I expected and the path to freedom feels so far-fetched.

I feel like now I’m in this box and everything just keeps getting shook up and my emotions are all over the place with no relief insight.

I might end up becoming insane with no plan of coming back to the world of Sanity

  1. cm writes – Joplin, MO – A lifelong desire of mine has been to write. As a child I wrote, even though it needed some pizzazz; but as a child, my abilities were very limited as you can imagine. Every person has much to learn, and I did that along the road to adulthood. I sure wish I kept them so I could us them for other posts. Fool that I am, I destroyed them. There were diaries through childhood abuse, tossed out. I guess that they served their purpose. Diaries I also kept through 2 abusive marriages and where are they now? They have all been destroyed, but yet I love to write. I guess that I didn't see any reason to keep them at the time, but as I write now, I can see the true value of them, precious. Here it is, the year 2025, and I stand transformed—a woman who has found her own voice and risen above the events that once shaped her. They have not defined me; instead, they became the ground from which my voice has finally risen. I have written six books. Had I clung to those diaries, I might have remained in the memories, circling them endlessly. But I did not stay there. I rose from them, and in rising, I found my voice at last.

    I hadn’t been to your site in a while and I’m glad that I did today. I smiled because even though so many days I feel like that. Even though I am changing to a more positive attitude, I know exactly how you feel. Todays’ world is far more complicated than when I was a kid.
