Oppressive thoughts and dark days was how my journey began. Nightmares and flashbacks came thick and fast but then I saw your hand. 

You reached for me in my darkest hour seeing the tears I cried. Did you know you saved this girl, a life I can now justify. 

With hand held tight you guided me through what became my longest walk. The journey was hard, there is no doubt but I hold dear all of our talks. 

I cannot express just what your unfaltering support has meant to me. Because of you my strength has grown tenfold and I am becoming the person I longed to again be. 

Now our journey together is coming to an end I’ll always remember you. Through the positive steps and decisions I make are because you taught me how-to.
