I bathed and cleansed my soul,

scrubbed myself from head to toe.

Turned all of me inside out,

to and fro and back about.

Got rid of all the cooties

and old-fashioned snooties.

Disinfected the disease

of shame and miseries.

Power washed my tear-stained ears

from hurtful derogatory words and smears.

Scour padded my memories of abuse.

The flashbacks and pain are of no use.

If any triggers pull me now,

it won’t matter when or how,

for my chamber of bullets is empty

and my joy, hope and faith are plenty.

~written by Susan Walz

Everyday I need a little coffee

and a WHOLE LOT OF JESUS.

I share my story openly and honestly to educate others and increase the awareness of mental illness, reduce stigma, prevent suicide, to inspire, give hope and let God's love shine through me and touch you. I finished writing, proofreading and editing my memoir in January of 2019. I am in the process of sending my manuscript to agents and publishers that accept unsolicited maunscripts. I pray my words will turn into a book that will inspire and spark joy and hope in the lives of many. Recovery and healing are possible. I am living proof. "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." ~Maya Angelou View all posts by my loud whispers of hope
