Keep writing. It's a beautiful way to express your emotions.

What your father did to you was wrong, and there's nothing you did to deserve it. He is a sick man. I know it's hard when you're young to understand that things happen for a reason but they do. Follow your heart always and find happiness where you can. Your stories of pain will help countless others to know they are not alone, someone else has been through it as well. And someday you will be the best Dad in the world! flowerforyou

I stayed away from this one. I figured it was going to hit too close to home. It did. Different ways, but same ending.

Once upon a time a little girl grew up,
but all that she knew about herself was a lie.

So, one day she set out to meet herself to find out what was a lie and what was really her. This journey consisted of letting go of a lot of BS, a lot of confusion, and finally giving in to the adult I now was and letting that adult re-raise the inner child. Still on that path, but I've managed to get where I could understand what drove my father and it didn't have squat to do with me. Then I could forgive both of us. It becomes a lot easier to breathe after that..............

You do write very well.

Very heartfelt, very honest & very humbling.flowerforyou


What steps have you taken to become the writer you already are? In other words, you ARE a writer, that is obvious.. what steps have you taken to continue that dream of yours?

Beautifully written with such heartfelt emotion. I am sure that the scars of being abused will never go away. It's how we deal with it all...is that truly matters.

Writing is a great outlet, get all your feelings out, down on paper. I am sure that this will help.....

I must say that I've read alot of poetry here, but yours is definately the one that brought tears to my eyes while reading! It was very heart felt and emotional! If it didnt touch the readers in one way or another, then something is wrong with them

I wish this hug could reach you, and try to shield from the un- happy memories. But then you wouldn't be such a great writer. My wish for you in 2008 in to find someone to work on some happy memories. I will be looking forward to reading the poems about that.
