A diary of anguish and survival for the battered and abused. Tails of embracing the ghosts of our past that keep lasting grips on our bones. A stoutheartedness that births from facing the most difficult emotional, mental, physical, and darkest abuses most cannot fathom. This book is an unlocked chest of wounds that is another’s shame to bear, not mine. Tangled secrets kept that should be a beacon of light to guide others in the fight of their lives. Mental health, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression are merely a design of cruel burdensome oppression inflicted on innocence. I have laid bare my scars on these pages as a gift for others so that they too may free their afflictions on strengthened wings of fortitude. For all the survivors out there that were strong enough to let it all go and those still searching for courage to release their lacerations of torment.

Marie Waldrep began writing from her heart at the early age of 11. Due to her personal experience with incest and childhood sexual assault, rape and sexual and domestic violence she found writing poems helped to ease the pain and facilitate her healing and recovery process. As such, she felt compelled to write this book of poems, A Voice that has Spoken from Within. Marie was awarded Editor's Choice Award in January 2004 for outstanding achievement in poetry by poetry.com and the International Library of Poetry for her poem Still I Cry. She has created a website called The Mighty Phoenix with information to help promote awareness and healing of all sexual abuse. Marie is dedicated in making a difference by helping others who have walked a similar path as she has.

Trice's goal is to inspire others to write and/or talk about their abuse, instead of holding it in and letting it go.

From the Dark Shadows to a Vibrant Light: Poems for the Victims and Survivors is short collection of true events, feelings, and words put into poems. These poems are in support of Sexual Assault and Awareness and a creative form of Advocacy. The poems are entered in chronological order of a tragic rape of a college girl and two males who she thought she could trust. It reveals the dark shadows of the event, the aftermath of her struggle, and the peace she has now found. She is going from dark to light, sad to happy, unhealthy to healthy. The thoughts of those nights haunt her for months and make her wonder what her future will consist of, if she can overcome this hurt and betrayal, and even when she wanted to give up she gave herself a little hope. The unfortunate situations appear in her thoughts and sometimes haunt her dreams. From the Dark shadows also includes a poem the girl wrote for a person near and dear to her heart. The two individuals can help one another with their healing process. That girl is me. Through creative writing (poetry), I have helped heal myself. I have overcome my rape and now can say I have grown from victim to survivor. I hope my collection of short poems encourage others on the struggles some sexual assault victims go through and serve as a form of advocacy for Sexual Assault and Awareness.

It concludes with an exploration of the lessons learnt in life after gaining freedom from such abuse. At times confronting, these poems highlight the incredible strength in all survivors' ability to overcome the trauma of their past and to find the beauty in a life that is worth living.

Throughout my years of silently experiencing sexual abuse, I was incredibly drawn to the creative arts: poetry books, art and music pulled me through some of my darkest days on earth and I wanted to create something specific for survivors like I always wished for growing up. I intended for this book to be so undeniably beautiful (with artwork from my childhood until now) that anyone in society could pick it up to flick through, learn from and cherish a copy to refer to for the rest of their lives. My dream is for this book to become part of school curriculum taught so we can learn about trauma and recovery from a young age. Are you becoming aware of the traumas in your life holding you back? Does trauma recovery feel daunting? Would you like a beautifully designed and illustrated poetry book to guide you through the process to empowerment? ***BUY + CHERISH YOUR OWN COPY OF "BAGS OF PAIN" TODAY***A Lifetime Collection of Poetry + Artwork by a Thamizh Survivor of Sexual Abuse Designed to provide you: A beautiful journey through trauma recovery + empowerment A back-and-forth exploration of the 5 stages of grief The autobiographical life story of a survivor of sexual abuse A shoulder to lean on for all survivors of sexual abuse + trauma An education for society in order to support survivors more effectively An honest reflection of the struggles of the Thamizh diaspora With citations and references to expert research + publications Blurb: "Join me as I walk you through my life. I've carefully selected puzzle pieces from across the years + placed them in a particular order. But not chronologically. Instead, a poem from earlier in my life speaks to another poem written years later. Placed side by side. Like a conversation between 2 survivors at different stages of their healing journey lending each other a hand. I hope this book becomes a kind shoulder for survivors to lean on + society to learn from." - Dharshana Navendren Profile of Author/Poet/Artist by kind friend, Mayuri Thiraviyanathan: "Dharshana is intelligent, kind and passionate about her work. Having gone through various stages in life and the adversities that she faced, I am always in awe when I see her strength and courage. She stands strong in her passion to support survivors, which I believe is an incredible + important mission. @Thangam_We_Are_Gold: her work to provide a safe platform for survivors has been ground-breaking, as I had never come across a social media handle where a survivor unapologetically expresses through music and arts. She utilises her creativity to raise awareness and provide comfort to fellow survivors by sharing her journey. It is comforting to know that we have shared experiences and most importantly: we do not have to go through them alone! She takes pride in her Thamizh identity and has a willingness to give back in whatever way possible. She is a great friend, cheerleader, and ally. Amidst the pressures of needing to be the 'perfect' Thamizh woman defined by society, it is refreshing to meet people in life who bravely defy those expectations and choose to be their true authentic self. Dharshana, thank you for being a breath of fresh air and inspiring me in my journey." - Mayuri Thiraviyanathan
