Lavender Power Site

Published on January 9, 2007 in Mental Health and Therapy. 3 Comments

There is a site called Lavender Power. It’s meant to bring survivors together for empowerment. Well, when browsing on the MySpace version of that site I found a page called Help Wanted. It’s about a little child that needed help with an abuser but no one was listening so she put up a help wanted sign. Someone came to inquire about the sign and there started the stream of people willing to help the abused child.

I really like this. I like the resourcefulness of the little girl. If people aren’t coming to her one way she’ll find another. It says people will listen and that there is power in numbers. This is a top notch story.

This is an inspirational story, a must read. If you want to leave a comment you unfortunately HAVE to have a MySpace account.

I Am You- Poem

Published on January 9, 2007 in Borderline Personality Disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Mental Health, Poetry and PTSD. 5 Comments

Hold on
Hold onto me tightly
Hold your breath, the next is worth waiting for

Look at me
Look at the scar on my face but remember the lips that turn upwards
Kiss me, the love of self is worth it.

I have every imaginable flaw
Every imaginable quark and failure
And hit every stumbling block ten times over
But I’ve also climbed mountains
Mountains higher than the best and strongest scope can see.
I’ve walked miles in bare feet and taken steps others could only dream of
I’ve breathed thin hopeless air
Air so thin the beasts of high rocky homes would descend for their own ease.
But not me, I kept climbing.

Follow me
Follow the beat of my heart
Follow the strength you’ve shown from birth until now and
Never forget
Remember me, remember you.

This is me, I am you
In every possible way
So hold me
Love me
The good, the bad, the ugly.
