This is a very powerful and telling story told in your poem. Someone needs to help her (or him) not to see themselves as a victim forever. They couldn't help what happened but they have to get past it. Thanks for telling the story.

    I meant what I said. I know it's easy to allow the characterization of a victim, but it needs to change to victor! Trust me, I know. Do take care, friend. Marcia

This is a powerful poem and it conveys the message about child abuse very clearly. You've made good use of alliteration. I particularly like the sound of "Traumatized and paralyzed" - very effective. :)

Hello my friend,
I was touched by this for I have a friend who has experienced being the victim. It's sad that I have always been the one who had to pick up the pieces... Great message my friend... Dreamdancer

    Then, you've seen "the damage done". The ripple effect is enormous and incalculable. Thanks very much for your very kind review. Sue

This brilliantly crafted tragedy goes beyond descriptive words, as to the horrors felt and the irreplacable scars left. In complete unsuspecting innocent purity, a life is forever changed.... I myself have my own brand of justice towards such a premeditated, malicious predator

No, it seems no one ever sees these things coming. I think most of us have either been molested in this way or had our trust completely violated when it has happened to someone we know well. This poem is filled with pain and tells a truth that is devastating. A victim forever. This is a good telling of this horror. mslyla

Acts like this disgust me, and if something like that happened to someone I know, I'd have to hunt them down and beat them to near death. Or maybe I wouldn't stop.

Anyway, you've got a powerful poem here. Thank you so much for sharing.

The perfect art work to
go with your tale of
betrayal of trust, the
words of tears staining
the pages below the
picture.
Well done

good rictameter form used to demonstrate how traumatizing this sort of violence can be in a person's life - it can be paralyzing and you convey that powerfully Brooke

    I felt that the only way to tell this story was through a ric, which is basically like free verse, but restricts one to the essential words. Thank you for your very kind review, Brooke. Always, Sue

Once again another wonderful poem. There is a line that bothers me:

Of fear and became a
hospitalized
Victim ------I don't know why it just stopped the flow for me. Maybe, becoming a hospitalized..
Anyhow, very good.

    In a ric, the last word must tie in (not stand alone) with the previous thoughts. So when read, it says, "Traumatized by paralysis of fear and became a hospitalized victim.

    In a ric, the last word must tie in (not stand alone) with the previous thoughts. So when read, it says, "Traumatized by paralysis of fear and became a hospitalized victim. (as she did become). Does that help or do you think it may need work? Thanks very much for your review and honest comments. Regards, Sue
