Rebuilding After the Trauma of Emotional Abuse

I know your hurting deep inside

And it seems the pain you cannot hide

You've suffered emotional abuse, I'm so sorry

My heart feels your despair so dearly

I hope that soon you'll begin to mend

Hold on tight and never give up, my friend

For the future will be yours to take flight

Smile and come back into the light!

You're strong enough to keep going on

Rising from depths of darkness dawn.

Find ways to make yourself feel safe,

And to learn how to trust again,

And to forgive yourself for the mistakes,

That led you to this place

Understand that emotional abuse,

Does not define who you are,

And that you are capable of healing,

No matter how hard it seems so far

Let go of fear and find the courage,

To rebuild your life anew,

And to find the strength to stand up,

To the emotional abuser too

Take each day as it comes,

And face it with grace and strength,

And know that healing is possible,

When you take steps in its length

Be patient and kind to yourself,

And remember that it’s ok,

To take the time to heal your wounds,

And to not be ashamed of your way

Know that you are worthy of love,

And that life can be joyful and free,

And that the pain of the past doesn’t define,

The person you are meant to be

Find your inner voice and follow it,

And be the best version of you,

And focus on healing from the pain,

And know that you will get through

You are strong and brave and beautiful,

And deserving of all the best,

And healing from the pain of emotional abuse,

Can be the key to a life of rest

The wounds of emotional abuse

Are often hard to see

The damage that it does to one's soul

Is not always easy to be

One's spirit can become broken

Their heart can break in

But if you can find the strength and courage

You can start to heal anew

The journey to recovery

Is never a straight line

It's filled with valleys of sorrow

And mountains of pain so sublime

A thousand tears may flow

And your heart may break in

But if you can keep on moving forward

The healing will eventually come to you

You'll have to be brave and strong

And have the determination to try

To confront the darkness and the pain

And the hurt you have inside

It will be scary and hard

And you may feel like giving up

But remember that you are worth it

And you can rise above

Take the steps to rebuild

Your strength and your courage too

And learn to heal your broken heart

And as you do, you'll grow and renew

It won't be easy and it won't be fast

But healing is worth the fight

You'll learn to love and trust again

And let go of all your strife

The wounds of emotional abuse

Are hard to heal and face

But with a little bit of courage

You can move on and find your place

Find the people who love and care

And who will be there for you

They will help you find the strength

To find the hope and joy anew

Your inner beauty and spirit

Will be the shining light

That will help you heal your wounds

And move on in your life

So take the steps to start anew

To heal your broken heart

Be brave and strong, and never forget

That you can rise above the dark
