I am Me. Survivor not a victim. I have been writing poetry since my youth. I work in animal rescue. I am a mother of 4. I love that we can all express ourselves through art, whatever type it may be to let them feelings free Sunshine

Something she should have known at birth
Pretty is on the inside

Making her frown
Why are they killing?
Molesting?
