in this line: Adult into marriage hood; I would change to (Adult into the marriage bed) there is no such thing as Marriage hood, IMHO. these lines resonated with me:

I remember the days of so much pain;
Of my muted voice and endless blame;
Shame to lift my head up high;
Nor accept my destiny;
I burned, I cried;
I screamed, I dreamed;
I felt the darkness seeping into my head;
Just like my demon trying to explode;
Whispering words, “Do kill yourself no one wants you.”

I think we have the same demon or else they are twins!

As always you have impressed me. The way you affirm your identity as a survivor and not a victim is crucial to not only the poem but to life. I continue to enjoy reading and watching your writing evolve.

things to help make this smoother.

"A distressed [and] abusive life

[Stitched] and intertwined [in the layers of my skin] I do not find the word [wooled]
adds to the idea of imbedded in your skin, likewise the word [matched]

I would delete the word [Still] from the line:
"It nudges me ever so often" You will have made your point without the use of [still]

The sun came out and warm[ed] my face

Get rid of the semi-colons and punctuation at the end of your lines
Unless you are writing prose and in paragraphs, you don't need it.

I was touched by the intensity of this one; maybe it was the line:
"Do kill yourself, no one wants you"

I am glad that you have set yourself on the road to recovery and are determined
to help others. Good luck in your career. ~ Geezer.
