I'm writing this to show, despite everything, that you get stronger the more you endure.

This was to be a poem--couldn't do it!


Poem Artwork

I grewup being sexually, physically and emotionally
      
  ----------------Abused---------------- 
I was hit by a drunk driver and a driver who drank
                        earlier that day
     One driver came across the front of my car
     The other driver(drunk) hit me head on
           Took me eight months to recover
                       I was thirty-four
           I remember wanting to be liked 
               I became a people pleaser
               Today I do not people please
                Either you like me or you do not
           I know how to say NO and when
                           to say YES
I listened to my inner voice when I was eighteen
I was walking to work when this car stopped
Guy behind the wheel asked if I wanted a ride
I said no, it was to nice to walk-----I saw him
a week later, same car same guy.  I PUT 2 and 2
together, figuring he was looking for me, it was 
even the exact place, to weird.  I again said NO.
i consider that one of my nine lives, my others
almost getting hit by a bus on foot, a caste iron 
skillet, almost being hit, having a piece of licerice
caught in my throat, being sexually abused at 
age eight but nothing more.

 I survived all this, I'm a fighter, a surviver.  But
 most importantly---I'm STRONGER!!!

These Black and Blue Red Zone Days by Aberjhani

Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.
