Poem by a Priest Abuse Survivor

I don’t want to suffer anymore

Get rid of my burden lighten my load

Then I can move faster

Heading on down the road

Been trying so hard

To leave the mess behind

I keep looking for the answers

Wondering what I’ll find

It’s not the kind of injury

That anyone can see

But I’m getting better

Someday I’ll feel free

That time is not yet here

When I feel free

That time is not yet here

When I feel in the clear

To let go of the grief

And give me some relief
