The Me That Nobody Sees: From Surviving to Thriving

We are all survivors of our past, and at any moment we can begin again. In between the pages of poetry in this book, you will understand that...
When all that's left
is the emptiness
when all that's spoken
is the silence
when all that's seen
is the opaque
you intrinsically know
it's time to go
yet the pain
immobilizes you to stay until... Survival puts the brakes on your forever and you undeniably know that your only choice is to get out. And you know that when you're going through hell you keep stepping, and you will eventually get to the other side. And in this journey to the other side, you realize just how strong, amazing and resilient you truly are. And when you feel like your energy and strength are dissipating into an abyss of the uncomfortable unknown you tap into a reserve system. This reserve system you didn't even know you possessed. Although the poems are primarily focused on emotional abuse, anyone can benefit from the uplifting relatable, encouraging and powerful words flowing through these pages. This book provides a support system with solid advice and gives the reader a clear understanding that you are not alone. We all have struggles and the capacity to move Mountains and overcome our individual challenges, and not just survive them, but thrive as a result of the skills we develop by overcoming them.
