healing gracie

As mentioned in a previous post, I have taken up poetry writing again. It's a really good way to get some of this stuff out. It's hard, but I'm actually liking what is coming of it.

Now, before I get to the preview I want to tell you all what this poem is going to be like. It is actually going to be a very long poem that is broken up into parts (part I, part II, etc.). This poem series follows my healing process from the beginning (from when the abuse happened) and will end...who knows. Now, it has a lot to do with my inner child and the work I've done with that. It is very personal to me and very deep. Okay...now onto the preview. It's only a few lines.

Handprints left on body and face
The dark ink staining her skin

Yep, that is all. I know, it's only two lines...but hey, I don't want to give you too much before this part of the poem is finished. Besides, I hope it builds the suspense.

Post-edit:

Those two lines were the first lines I wrote for the poem. Just in case you wanted to know
