Clinging.

New Hope.

By Felicia MartinezPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

A former group home kin (kin) and I.

How can I reach out for help when the things of me are so unknown?

A sad reality, I've always been quite alone.

Although I've made it this far,

I have no more room to grow.

I want to work with troubled youth, and inspire their crying souls.

But how could I, when I have grown so cold.

One day will I look into their innocence,

exclaiming , " Alas, we have just came face to face, yet your hearts I surely know, you have been the only light to guide me whenever I need a home,"

and from this another guiding light will glow.

My empathy is as deep as earth's oceans, and I am learning to give that to myself. I have CPTSD among other mental health diagnoses. Writing has always been the best outlet for me and now, I challenge myself to share it more openly.
