“Broken for a healing” original Poem

Hello Everyone!

Glad you are back for another post.

I am finally writing again and I will do my best to post videos for the other poems on my YouTube page(check “social media page tab).

Below is a Poem that I was inspired to write about my high school experience dealing with verbal abuse and depression.

As the Lord continues to cleanse me from all past hurt and pain, I hope that I will be able to be transparent, so that I may help someone else be BOLD enough to share their past or current pain.

Poem will be posted below the photo.

“Broken for a healing”

By Katchee Naelle

“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life…” -Proverbs 4:23

My personality began to shift because of him.

I went from always being optimistic, to “who even cares!” I felt so disgusted.

I would cry and fall asleep wounded.

I lost my appetite for meals, and I lost my appetite for church…

I became depressed.

I began to lose my joy.

I began to lose my peace.

I lost my personality.

I no longer smiled at people.

I no longer made an attempt to be kind to people.

No longer opened up to people fearful that they would turn on me like him.

I was broken.

Because of him,

Because of his criticisms,

Because of his constant verbal attacks…

What’s the point of living?

I thought, “who even cares about me?!”

A self hate began to eat me inside…

I no longer felt human, but trash…

I didn’t sing a song of renewal,

I didn’t praise my way through,

I lost all strength.

I was broken,

Until I remembered God’s holy words..

Four years later,

As I fight for my life,

as I fight for my joy,

And as I fight for my joy.

I am holding on Jesus,

Today, tomorrow and forever more,

Because I am was broken, was in need of a healing.
