Closetland

Sad woeful eyes...small child's face....
Innocence plundered....assaulted...lost
Serenity violated...atrophied...
Predatory relatives....cunning destruction...
Sneaky wicked whispers....sickening words...
Tormenting touch...nerves jangled..
Caged.......no escape...unheard cries...
Undermined trust....alertness.....
Avoidance necessary....
Wariness developed....sleeplessness....
Unendurable......safety stolen....
Silence demanded...secrecy...guilt...
Shame....pasted on smile....
Hides damages...

An adult....married.....insecure..
Happy?...acceptance needed...
Helpful....faith in God....
Underlying sadness.....
Simple movie....news report....or article...
Unmerciful....painful...rush of memories.
Flailing....undone......drowning in the flood...
Struggling to recover....

jagged edged memories
pressing sharply on my mind
cutting through my defences
slicing open my heart
peace gleaned painstakingly
gushes out forcefully
puddling at a distance
despair rushes in
muddies the waters
disparaging thoughts
onslaught of helplessness
chilled to the bone
darkness descends
sadness pervades
anger arises
internal fight insues
I want ME back!!

Beneath the willow.....

lush verdant carpet
worn here and there
dolloped with buttery dandelions
being swept gently by
curtains' lacey tips
rose scented air freshener
queen anne's lace
a doily beneath teapot
tiny fingers curl into
teacups' delicate handle
......sipping
cup clacks gently
on porcelain saucer
rosebud lips curve upwards
listening to Ms Teddy Bears' chatter
leaning forward to catch
each interesting word
frowning as Teddys'
woes are shared
brows furrowed
in empathy.
giggles escape
tabby kitty playfully bats
at lovely lace curtains
cows' gentle moos
a soothing background
along with buzzing
of bumblebees
hop hop hop, watching a
baby frog pass through
feeling safe and content
in the brightness of day
innocent child at play
in her imaginary palace
forgetting last night's terror
for a while!

Stop leave me alone
Why are you doing this?
I can't run that fast
As your footfalls edge
closer to my weary steps
I am powerless to go on

Strike me down once more
So that I can rise stronger
To your hateful blows to me
And my pathetic heart
Only prove to all and me
The coward that you are
Beating my innocence away
I hear the bones in my face shatter
Your fist the brutal instrument
I am bleeding now tell me,
Will you let me bleed to the end?
So that into this eternal hell
I can descend slowly
Into my heart of darkness

No
You realize I am dying
So you take me to The idiotic blind doctor
Who cannot see that you abuse me
He thinks you love me with all your heart
Daddy tell him the truth just once please!

The Family
Have you ever seen the tears
Falling from a mother's eyes?
Have you witnessed all the sadness
Caused by the cruelest of lies?

Have you ever seen the fear
On the face of a small boy?
Have you witnessed his destruction
Like he was merely a toy?

Have you ever seen the shame
In the mind of a little girl?
Have you witnessed her misfortune
At the hands of a drinker?

Have you ever seen the pain
Deep inside these broken hearts?
Have you witnessed the depression
Tearing this one family to parts?
Have you ever seen the reason
Skillfully causing this hurt?
Have you witnessed the sad truth that
It's the father and a jerk?!

We all need to be aware that child abuse is all around. Don't bury your head in the sand if you suspect that a child is being abused. Get involved,, report it...and hopefully the authorities will check it out thoroughly and save the child from any further abuse.If not,, go with your gut feeling and persevere.�

GOD BLESS THE CHILDREN!!



This tear drop is for every
child who is abused in any way.
It should not hurt to be a child!
