Something’s not right

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

My Mosaic

I like mosaic art, I’ve never actually done any, but it intrigued me. Made up of hundreds of tiny pieces of stone, glass and ceramic. If you look at it close up it doesn’t really look like anything special, if anything it looks like a mess. But if you take a step back and view the whole picture- it’s a master piece. I guess it’s kind of like life. So many tiny parts, some messy if we look just at the one part. Some day i guess I’d hope that the mess of my life will at some point look half decent.

So here is part of my mosaic, bits and pieces kept tidy together 🙂

tagging you @Emelia8 cause you asked 🙂

Re: My Mosaic

It’s all a shitty big mess tonight.
Wanna make myself sleep the day away tomorrow so I don’t have to face it. Didn’t gotta face the memories. Don’t gotta remember what he did. Is that ok?

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow only insofar as you're not forcing the sleep by using meds or other means. But if you need to spend the day hiding, if you need to shut off from the world and just be in bed, or if you need to go out and do something to reclaim you sense of freedom - like going running in the forest or something - then you can do that. You have power. You have choice. You are in control. I believe you will get through this. I know you can.

Re: My Mosaic

@Bow today is your trauma anniversary and we are here for you...

I like the idea you mentioned of sleeping the day away...I have days like that....I hardly engage with reality on those days. I am hoping that you can do something similar today if possible...

Sending hugs and 💜

Thinking of you today @Bow

Re: My Mosaic

today is hard. 😢


The truth I hold took years to unfold

Locked up and never told.

I was only a child I didn’t know any better

He was my protector but it all came undone,

When this grown man did what he should not.

Today represents the start of the torture.

It should be a day that’s celebrated but it’s not.

In the numerous places it occurred, Loss of innocence, I didn’t have a choice, Nobody heard my voice.

How could he exploit my innocence?

How could he forget I was still just a child?

How could he play this game with me when I was not even a woman?

Can anything ever erase these dirty chapters?

Locked in this prison with no way to escape,

A lifetime of pain and wounds that won’t heal.

And as quick as it begun, it was then over.

He never spoke of what he did. Never acknowledged the pain that he caused. Life just went on, pretending it never happened. But I remembered.

Re: My Mosaic

Today is nearly over but really it was just the beginning. I’ve slept most of the day with a little help, was the only way I could get through it.
