dear crushed child me

wounds heal.  damage mends.  emotions settle.
thoughts improve.  life moves along.

his violence.  leaves you.  silenced.  ashamed.
confused.  tormented.  outraged.  sore.

crushed.

you live with.  the burning.  the stench.
the pain.  the vomiting.  the reeling.
the rage.  the panic.

you fight.  the images.  the terror.
the sadness.  the nausea.

you pray.  habitually.

your honesty.  with jesus.
is miraculous.

you believe.  he is.  the god.  who sees you.
hears you.  knows you.  fights for you.

he enters your sorrow.  your agony.
your loneliness.  your horror.

he takes on.  the pain.  of your.  reality.

because of jesus-

your survived.  you are still overcoming.
