Survivor’s Mind : When Childhood Trauma and Poetry Collide

Book Link

From Amazon:

A dark and poetic look into the world of childhood trauma, family secrets and into the mind of a survivor. Written through tears and empowered by strength, each poem amplifies the voices of the shame, secrets and silence that accompanies the lifelong struggles of being a statistic in a world full of abused children. A window into her upcoming memoir, A Childhood Tragedy Under A Mother’s Watch. May these poems bring comfort and strength to those who can relate and an understanding to those who don’t.

Mellon has taken on a challenge of writing poetic verse regarding childhood abuse of all kinds. And they are about her own experiences. No child should be abused, ever! No child should have one parent a monster and the other act blind about what was going with their very own child. Society says abuse is wrong, yet society also does not want to get involved, a large percentage of the time. To have repressed memories come forth from buried deep within oneself, Mellon has overcome what she endured, and now she writes books and poetry to express what horror she endured, and to help others is similar situations.
