You have told me the story behind this and again a am so sorry this happened to you. Nobody deserves to be treated this way Nobody! I understand what happens though my abuse was more mental but equally as much torture. The denial and the fact that this is somehow your fault is probably the worst of the feelings. thast and you are not good enough to love. I nuderstand your pain and wish I cold make it all go away but you have turned out quite awesome despite all that has happened and this shall save your soul. The healing begins right now you are better than anyof this I know this to be true. Screw what anyone else has to say you kind of have to live it to understand what it does to you. As you have said it stealls your life and the innocence that childhood has in such abundance. You can never get this back. You can however pick yourtself up and look at those around you they can see how you really are and this should bring a little comfort. You are quite special and God has lead you to me for a reason perhaps to help each other heal:) Take ccare my friend and an honest and superb write. With it changes your path and may all the goodness inside your heart contnue to shine:) mark

    No we can't have our childhood back and I guess that's ok, time to accept that. What has happened helped mould me into the person I am today. So, although I will never be grateful for the abuse, it is time to let go as you said. Thanks for seeing passed the words Mark.

A deeply moving, powerful and poignant piece of writing. This insightful poem comes from a place of experience and knowing. Highly charged emotionally, your work expresses clearly the effects of the vileness of child abuse. A courageous write Jaq.Liz.x

    This was my first ever attempt at poetry. It shows too. :) I may go over some of them before I post any more to see if I can tidy them up, but that one was just raw emotion and I wasn't thinking about technicalities I guess. Jaq xx

    Once again thanks Liz x

The IMMORTAL knows how important it is before HE gave man the first gift-FREEDOM.Therefore,those who indulge in this obnoxious act,should know that, they are depriving the child's happy life!I commend you on this beautiful poem.

I really enjoyed reading your poem. I agree that abusers need to hear what they have stolen from the child. I'm glad that you wrote this poem. In today's society especiallly there seems to be too many children whose lives will be affected by the abuse that goes on. Years ago I don't think it was heard of as often as things happened. However, it is sad that it goes on so often in the lives of others. Thank you for your poem.

Your rhyme scheme was not a consistent order abcb as your seventh verse would disclose. The dialog you interjected seemed a little disorganized but I haven't had my coffee yet it could be just me.

Jaq Cee - This is a well written, although sad, poem. Child abuse is still running rampant, which is terrible. You did a good job in writing about it. Kat

This is very sad story, and all of the hurt comes through very clearly for the reader, that person should be shot, and the picture is beautiful
