When will I feel better?

Why do I still feel like this?! How long will it take for me to feel better? What if I never feel better? Shouldn’t I have grown up? I’m an adult now so why am I still dealing with childhood issues? I have already had counselling...but now I feel like I need some more... What if nobody wants me? I feel like damaged goods... I’ve already tried counselling and it didn’t work... Are there any support groups in my area? What shall I do now? I’ve tried everything and nothing has helped me...now what?

The Road To Healing

The road to healing is long,
Emotions run high,
Take your time,
No matter how many sessions,
Take your time,
Let the anger out,
A victim no more,
But a survivor you are,
Be proud not ashamed,
Alone you are not,
Talk about it,
Write about it,
Let the emotions out,
People may run you down,
Call you a liar,
Befriend you too,
Feelings of isolation,
But isolated you are not,
There are those who understand,
Support you,
Listen to you,
It is about you,
Your pain,
Your hurt,
Your nightmares,
It is your healing process.
