My Friend: A Poem

The Albuquerque SANE Collaborative is an organization made up of people from many different walks of life, experiences, and beliefs. We firmly believe that everyone has something to bring to the table, and is worthy of dignity and care. In this entry, one of our own nurses shares a personal story about abuse in the form of poetry: her words are sure to be felt by whoever reads it, and her experience is both heartbreaking but powerful. We are immensely honored to have worked alongside such a brave woman who is not afraid to share her story of healing, strength, and honesty.
