Survival Dressed In Delusion
Notes Of A Survivor
I fell completely for his love of illusions
Wore a costume made of shame and confusion
I finally came to the only conclusion
I ran, a Survivor dressed in delusion
I faced the fire and was branded a hero
The lessons learned I carry etched in my skin, so
I am the messenger of faith holding out hope
The knot to cling to at the end of the rope
Remember that the truest love gained, is yours
You were meant for far more than surviving
Forgive yourself and shed all your failures
They remind you that you’re living
****
Author’s Note:
Experience doesn’t care how much it hurts, only that you learned the lesson
Wake-up, welcome to your life
I couldn’t pick a favorite. I’ll leave that to you ❤️

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
