They may say, I know I’m safe now, while their body remains alert. They may speak clearly about the past, while their nervous system reacts as if it is still present. This disconnect is not resistance.

The United States faces a troubling contradiction. While billions of dollars flow to foreign aid, such as support for Ukraine and illegal aliens, many veterans who have served this nation, especially survivors of military sexual trauma (MST), remain neglected. Among them is Julie Jewels Smoot, a veteran who endured rape by a fellow service member and faced victim blaming, retaliation, and emotional abuse. Despite the Democrats’ public stance as champions of survivors and advo

I stand here, anchored in the sea of thoughts, Waves of confusion crash, but my heart doesn’t wobble, Outside, the world shouts, urging me to move on, No, I won't succumb; I'll unearth the buried truths.  Time may test my patience, stretch the thin thread, Lingering doubts may whisper, but I will hold tight, Listen closely, I say, to every word and pause, Eagerly seeking clarity, wrapped in shadows of night.  Amidst the doubts, my spirit ignites a

In the silence of night, I collapse beneath the weight, each breath a whisper, each heartbeat a reminder of shadows that linger, the echoes of a past, like a ghost that wraps around my chest, tightens its grip until the world blurs at the edges. 

In the depths of numbness, a soul starts to fade, Numbness a blanket, a darkness self-made.  Groping for feelings, a whisper, a sigh, Away from the stillness, to finally try. 

Tell me your worries, cast them like shadows, Every burden weighs heavy, it’s true, Let my ears be the refuge for your heart, Lay down your fears, allow them to undo.

Over the mountains of despair I climb, Tenderly woven with purpose and time. Boundless the spirit that lives in my soul, Resilient and fierce yet gentle and whole. Open to healing, I mend and I grow, Knowing each scar is a mark of my glow.

In the quiet corners of our hearts, where the clock ticks softly, where shadows play their quiet games, there’s a door waiting, a door edged with frayed memories, hinges rusted with the weight of silenced thoughts. Open it, you tell yourself. But the room is a labyrinth of unspoken words, unvoiced fears, and the haunting echo of expectations that wrap around your shoulders like a shroud—a cloak of heavy fabric, threaded with the fabric of resilience,
