What’s a Girl Gotta Do?

Just wait, I’m gonna knock your socks off with my bohemian style, just as soon as I can move around better! I have So many stories to tell, I just don’t have the juice just now. Wait for me…I’m getting better all the time! Oh, the screaming? Don’t pay any attention-I have a tendency to overreact when I have the length of my spine CUT OPEN,and MY BONES MOVED AROUND!!!!AAAAHHHHHH! I want to cry, but it just makes me hurt worse.So I will attempt to put my head down for a while, and I will bite the proverbial bullet…(maybe ice cream will help?) See ya tomorrow, and thank you Matt for sticking by…:-)

By Susan T. Martin

I am an Artist, Poet and Author. A Survivor of Violent Sexual Abuse and Rape, I have lived thru Severe Domestic Violence, Twenty Three years of Addiction and Alcoholism, Family Dysfunction, Chronic Pain, Dependence on Opioids, and 2 Venomous Snake Bites...I have Been Stabbed, Shot at, Tied to a Tree and Choked Unconscious. A Quarter Horse Rolled on Me, as did a Lawn Tractor. I also Wrecked a Harley into a Tree! I also have PTSD and Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder, and spent my 18th birthday in a Locked Psychiatric Ward. I am so much more than this: I feel like a tiny seed that sprouted in a desert, and now has grown into a Passion Vine. My Art is my Voice, Screaming, Crying, Praying, Loving, Laughing, Healing- all in Riotous Color...
