About my everyday life, my struggles with addiction, sexual abuse, bipolar and family |
A blog about my life and how I got through some serious issues in hopes for a better tomorrow  |
| I've been sitting here thinking what a great year it's been. Full of love and friendships and great family time. I am growing spiritually and growing as a person. I am grateful for all that I have and for all that I am. My poetry has slacked off a bit, but that's ok. I have written 6 poetry books, more than I ever thought I would do. My self-esteem is growing and I am loved. People are changing around me as a result of me changing. Everything is good. I look forward to what God has in store for me. |
| Today is my second year of being clean and sober. I am very proud and grateful for my life these days. These past two years have been full of struggles and triumphs. I am much happier now without having to rely on drugs and alcohol in my life. God has saved me for a better purpose and I will follow his way. I am thankful for my family and friends who have supported me during this time. Life is good. |
| I was raped in 2011 by my friend. This guy broke my toes and raped me. Today I got up the courage to make a police report against him. Although the evidence is gone, I can still regain my power back. This was during my addiction so I felt no feelings until today. A good day. Victim No More I’ve taken back my power From a man who did abuse. He hurt me in many ways, He’s now called the accused. His actions thought were funny, But his humor I couldn’t see. Having sex without consent, Totally victimized me. Wrapped up in my addiction, But destroyed by what he’s done. I couldn’t protect myself, Against the rape he did for fun. Right now this rape haunts me Because justice can’t be served. The proof slipped through my hands, He won’t get what he deserves. God will handle this for me As he’ll pay for what he’s done. Though justice I may never see, God will make sure that I’ve won. WRITTEN BY: KYM ERICKSON 8/11/13 |
| Throughout the past year, I have learned to have empathy for one another. Empathy For You The way you have touched my heart, It is knowing how you feel. To be there for you always, And just knowing that it’s real. To walk a day in your shoes, Making sure the shoe does fit, To understand where you’re at, As I hold your hand and sit. To welcome you in my heart And protect you so you’re safe. To reach down into myself, Saying a prayer for you in faith. Collect my feelings when it’s done And then process what I know. By helping you heal your pain, You are helping me to grow. WRITTEN BY: KYM ERICKSON 8/9/13 |
| I'm feeling pretty good about my relationship with God these days and wanted to share this poem. I’d Give My Life The spirit shines within my soul And fills me up and makes me whole. High above the sky so bright, He’s watching me do what is right. With Him I would do anything For it is goodness that He brings. Happiness reigns inside my heart, For God and I aren’t far apart. Where I go He’s there with me, His love is what has set me free. My life is better with Him here, He is my rock, I have no fear. Another chance God gave to me, Now I’m feeling so happy. I do believe, my soul awaits, Cause God does not make mistakes. WRITTEN BY: KYM ERICKSON 7/31/13 |
| Unmasked My mask begins to crumble, It’s a frightening time for me, Exposing my inner self, I didn’t want others to see. Unknown to my own true self Is the pain I’m running from. A mask there to protect me, From the horror I’ve become. WRITTEN BY; KYM ERICKSON 7/27/13 |
| My poetry has been lagging lately. No much to write about. My spirit is still broken and will be until I stop having an affair with a married man. It's just so hard to say no. I wrote the following poem and maybe I should learn to respect myself. It’s All About Respect If you saw me on the street I wonder what you’d say? Would you look and me and smile Or just look the other way? Would you greet me with hello Or pretend you didn’t care? Would you pass by me in silence, Or glare at me and stare? The kind of person that you are Will tell you what you’ll do. Show respect to someone now, As they might show you too. WRITTEN BY: KYM ERICKSON 7/23/13 |
| Ever since that spiritual healing last month, I am still writing on spiritual poems. I hope you like this one. It was hard for me to write. Poetry isn't coming as smooth as it has been in the past. Show Me Who You Are Show me who you are today In such ways I never knew. Help me to be strong in faith And guide me right on through. Show me who you are today In ways that I can see. Let me feel the love you give From now to eternity. Show me who you are today So forever I’ll believe. So I will always love you, And would never choose to leave. Show me who you are today Let you live and breathe in me. For I am a child of God Whose goodness makes me free. WRITTEN BY: KYM ERICKSON 7/23/13 |
| I'm sorry for not blogging, I have been on vacation and I am having trouble writing. Things are going well in my life right now. Today is a good day and I am happy to be alive. |

created by God continue to light your way and blanket you with his loving warmth from the cold dark path of drugs and alcohol. You Are Awesome =) Take care.
cause I am.... but I relate to what this poem itself is saying. I wish I had an angel, someone to lean on, I guess you can say... but don't think I understood belief in angels et cetera... I guess I am just glad that even in creativity someone can understand what we go through--even if its just a creative fictional level.
