Hi Jan,
This isn't only exceptional it is extremely powerful. It needs to be where everyone has access to reading. You have given clear detail of the victim's feelings and then the answer for salvaging and putting their life back together again. Great job! May I print a copy to share with victim's here in N.C. Thank you for sharing. God bless and best wishes!

absolutely excellent writing!!! first I would like to say I am soo sorry you had to go through such a trying ordeal. you should have never been made to feel any guilt over what was done to you. this type of writing I believe is the Lord working through you to help others who have had their lives ruined by this form of abuse. keep up the great writing==and keep speaking out to help others. great job!!!!

What a darling little one! An excellent choice for your composition. There were tears in my eyes when I realized what you were writing about, making your image choice even more poignant. Your descriptions were heart-wrenching. Excellently done.

Hullo Rdfrdmom2 ....

In this free-thought writing, well presented, you have
put into words, the suffering of so many in today's world
and your notes at the end are most informative.
Children are beaten into submission through mere
words and threats such as you have outlined. Their lives must be so frightening and their outlook so hopeless until, by the grace of God, they find a way to break free of the web in which they are entangled.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
With love from ..... Nanette Mary.

there is no child that should have to live through this but I'm quite sure you know this. Don't you? you even know where to place the blame,. and I fear you also know there will be a time or two that when you set that blame down, you had better be prepasired to user it. T.S.J.

you can read a myriad of things into this piece of poetry
I found that it can have so many lines of thoughts
and that is what a good poem will produce
this was my pleasure to have read and reviewed it... John

All of this is so touching and what a sad element in society there is. Life is harsh sometimes and we can't see all the deep cuts inside injured souls.
Thanks for this. A very compelling poem indeed.

Thank you so much for writing and sharing this poem. I've been there and know how true it all is. I liked the way it was presented. It started from a place of strength, looking backwards...and yet it took the reader from the beginning to the end. I like the sets of words tumbing down, the contrast between each set and how they linked the rest of the poem together.
