MY SPECIAL 4 YEAR OLD. THE VERY BAD MAN IS A S. O. B.
WHO JESUS CHRIST WILL KILL, I PROMISE.
I HAVE CLOSE CRAZY CONNECTIONS, EVEN AS IMMANUELS' ALMOST ONLY SOLE FRIEND, BUT
ACQUIRING MORE FRIENDS. THANK YOU FOR EXHIBITING YOUR COURAGE TO RISK AND SHARE A VERY REAL AND PERSONAL AND YOUR PAINFUL EXPERIENCE. I WILL ALWAYS CARE FOR YOU, AND I RESPECT YOUR DIGNITY TO HEAL FROM YOUR PAINFUL, UNFORTUNATE, ABUSIVELY VIOLATING TRAUMA. TRUST JESUS CHRIST TO CARE AND KNOW IS WALKING WITH YOU. I HURT FOR WHAT YOU HAVE UNFORTUNATELY EXPERIENCED.
HAPPY EASTER, YET.
SK

Beyond this truth in this poem is you, is me and maybe the next one. So, we see you me and the next one and this is why we write what we write. Why should others read and see what we had to endure? Visuals are the way to heal beyond you, me and the next one. We care, we loved, we hated, we screamed, we cried and cried until a death we had was more than what we were living.That death inside is what needs to be resurrected! I am so proud of this writing! Its hurts. I have had mt own death to resurrect and tell to this day. Keep writing for the next one, for the one beyond you and beyond me, because they will come and see, as I did today. That is valuable! I thank you!

Man! I know this stuff goes on, but your poem made it very real. If this us true, I am sorry that happened to you.
It is well written. The rhyme is very good.
Thanks for sharing

Oh my god. I have been there countless times waiting for death to greet me with open arms. I used to wish before the next session of incest on it. just kept waiting but it never came. The tears have disappeared but the hurt will always be there. This hits too close to what used to be home. I pray that this world wont have so much more of these bastards but the cycle continues. at least little by little we know we dont want to hurt a child like we were hurt. i loved the read and yet i hated it.

That's horrible. If that happened to my child, I would see the blood, check the child and kill the bastard. I must relate the following story and ask what you think. My ex and I were babysitting his four year old granddaughter but had a Christmas party to attend. "I'll baby sit!" his 15 year old son volunteered with uncommon enthusiasm.
When we came home around 2:00 am, the child got up and asked for a drink. My husband went on to bed. While she drank, she said, "I laid on my back and spwead my legs and it feeled good."
When I reported the remark to her mother, she explained to me that the child had always felt good about her body. Fluffed off the male sitter who was not dating at the time.
What is your take on such a situation?

    Sounds suspicious to me, and if my kid said that, I would investigate THOROUGHLY.
    Thanks for stopping by,

I know that Hell has a special room for Uncle Phil. I hope he's burning there now. I hope your mother is enjoying her stay with him.
When he they were a part of your life must have felt like you were in Hell too - but at last you are rid of them. Not free from torment though. That's the hard part. Your writing, as always is exceptionally executed. Good pay-back to the son-of-a-bitch that made you endure his sick fantasies. Congrats on this well-deserved win, Curt.
Rose.

    Curt! So nice to hear from you. It's been a long while, my friend. I hope that you are planning to start writing again. Much has changed here at FS. And yet... It still feels like home. Rose.

    Hi Rose,
    Yes, I do plan on getting back into the swing of things, just started a new job and in the process of finding a place to live, but after that things should calm down enough for me to find time to post again.
    Take care,
    Curt

    Thank you for reading this out of my portfolio. There are others in the same vein, but I guess this was one that touched a lot of people.
    We are all survivors, so be proud that you can say that about yourself.
    Thank you again,
    Curt

This is so unthinkable that most people deny that it happens at all. Some parents even punish their sons for lying when they report it.
This is a very well written and readable poem. I agree with the contest judges, because it is a winner. Thanks for sharing. Bob

    Well, we may not have all gone through the very same things in life, but I hope the meaning behind my saying that wasn't lost. We all go through pain, at least I think we all do.
    Thank you for reading this unposted piece, I am honored.

    It's not about the "same" things as much as feeling empathy with those things that are completely out of our control yet they linger inside us for a lifetime...I sincerely hope this scenario did not actually occur ... I mean enough to believe that should it have actually happened there will be a day of serious retribution. A memorable write Curt. take care. xoxo Kiwi
