interesting - how much does a past not in your control dictate your future? Would think much of that is beyond ones control but maybe not. When does one escape their past and truly live their life. Went to a couple of mindfulness classes and saw hope - but stopped going not sure why.

You have written a very strong verse that spotlights the abuse and horror that happens in the world. You developed a strong flow using descriptive hammers in your verse.

Hi Nassus, this is a very well written free verse and totally brutal in its execution. You really bring home to the reader the effect of child abuse. Throughout the poem you have used excellent metaphor to describe the treatment some children have to suffer. A stark picture. Well done. Warm regards Dorothy x

Hi, Susan. This is yet another fine piece of writing by you. You never cease to amaze me. Being familiar with child abuse, the poem is all that much more meaningful to me. Thanks for sharing, my friend. Bob

I loved the structure of this gem, the lines were touching but the presentation erases the sadness without removing the value of this sad and surreal poem.

Any kind of abuse should never happen. Child abuse is such a terrible bane of society. This poem tells of the pain it causes mentally and emotionally also.
I don't think that one can ever forget the abuse but can overcome it.
The artwork is very evocative of the theme. The dead petals around the girl
show how abuse deadens hope and love.

The artwork you choose to go with your poem
Is a perfect match
Your words captured my attention from the first line to the last
I'm sad to say I can relate to it all
thank you for sharing

I applaud your c rloquent yet srnsitive hsndling of this horrid aberrant behavior that breaks bodies and shatters spirits. What evil lurks in child molesters is beyond comprehension.

Very emotional it certainly has very vivid though horrible imagery it's very thought provoking.to think that children out there somewhere are actually going through this is so sad. Your poem has a very easy flow to it and words go together seemlessly. Wonderful job.

I can not even begin to say that I understand why there are so many children that are getting abused everyday every second of the day. And so many of the offenses comes from the parents. These are innocent victims of all kinds of horrific abuses. I just dread thinking about it. The artwork intensifies to the poem so much of the pain and inhumane cruelty that these kids experience
