I am a teacher, wife, mother, daughter, sister, and aunt. I am a survivor of many things and continue to see the beauty in life.
There isn't any space left to hide

When I escaped the ruins of childhood

At nights he would come,
With a Sharpe blade made
White with a farmer's file;
A blade I have witnessed
