Anthem of an Angel (10-17-11)

Okay so this story is proving to be a little bit more difficult for me. Yes the story is not completely about what happened to me but its just the fact of remebering the bruises and the fear and the Hope that things would change. After my mother found out what had happened she asked me why i stayed and honestly when i look back now i dont have any idea. All i know is there was that hope that someday he would really open his eyes and see how much he hurt me, but it never did. And then i met the man i am dating now and i realize how stupid i was and wish that i could take it back. But i cant and i live with that everyday. I still have nightmares and then i wake up and see who actually lays next to me and i know everything is okay. How do you tell a story like that? How can you make an experience into a life lesson that others can read it and understand how you felt and maybe relate to it in a way? I guess that is just something I am going to have to figure out.
