Your use of the letter f was good. And your message was quite clear. The picture you used was just right. Good job

Thank you for reading.
Comment from HAWordsmith
A powerful and stirring write; and yes, the blows are felt forever, both mentally and physically; you do well in getting that across here. Excellent alliteration, and the choice of the letter (F) that you use to do so adds to the edge of this piece. A Pleasure to read. Thank you for this posting and many blessings.

Comment from Lincoln's Black Dog
This what I'm talking about. I love the intense alliteration. The colour scheme is great and the image matches really well with the writing content. Well done on a very good 5/7/5

Comment from HighKu
I do believe that emotional or spiritual pain cuts deeper than the physical. Leaving lasting wounds not easily healed. Your poem I believe may allow for some healing by so openly addressing such an unfortunate subject. Your choice of artwork is stunning, haunting and sobering. Perhaps enough to sober one inclined to abuse. Thereby saving their target. An amazing job of conveying so very much in a 5-7-5! All the Best for You in Life and the contest!

Wow - I never thought of that - that reading this could make someone think twice the next time they raise their hands to someone. Thank you for saying all that you did.
Comment from poetstar
I really agree with your poem, that time does not heal all wounds. I am glad you wrote this poem, so people won't act like you just get over domestic violence or severe child abuse. We try to move on but sometimes the pain just catches up to us. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you... I am always open to critism and am always learning. What one person likes another may not. But, thank you :)

Comment from LadyCosgrove
...and there it is - The trust that is lost.
A stark realistic view of violence, most poetically portrayed and yet loses none of its impact.
Nicely done.
