dear awkward adolescent child me

i know you feel.  clumsy.  nervous.  edgy.

awkward.

you are. confused. humiliated.  outraged.

i wish.  i could.  help you know.  the end to
his abuse.  is coming.

one day.  you will.  walk away.

your body will bear.  the pain.  of your reality.
and the reality.  of your pain.

the onslaught.  of intense emotions.  that ravage.
your soul.  will lessen.

you will learn.  to manage.  the aftermath.
of his.  violence.

jesus.  understands your pain.  he suffered.  and
despised.  the shame.

he bore.  the hatred of.  a sin filled world.
lies and insults.  were hurled at him.  he was
beaten.  and tortured.  in unthinkable ways.

you remember.  him.

you trust.  him.

because of jesus-

you survived.

you are still overcoming.
