A tragedy well told in verse. I like that you use the house and show that the building is not a home without love and safety in it. Hoping that despite all the pain in early childhood, you have experienced the love and warmth you need. Blessings.

What a sad poem Shirley. I hate to think of a child cringing in the dark afraid and feeling unloved. I'm sorry you had such a sad, bad childhood. You made it through and like they say, "What doesn't kill you makes you strong." God bless you my friend. Hugs nancy

Hi Shirley , so pleased to see you unburdening your soul once more with this precious verse that speaks for itself. It is beautifully scribed and reflects those inner thoughts and feelings that desperately need to be unleashed and set free.. the rhyming and flow of the poem are grand and the picture used to express the thoughts within works perfectly. Thank you for your braveness in letting go ... sending bunches of happy smiles to you, mel xxx

    Thanks Mel,
    This exceptional review is truly touching and much appreciated.
    I really appreciate your compassionate review and continued support.
    Honestly, I truly wish that my siblings and I were rescued and given counselling.
    It is a long hard road to blunder along alone.

Our next door neighbor's pets are always running away. My wife asked why. I said, "They don't have a happy home."

A couple of months later, the husband ran away.

Hello seken58, a poem of pain released. It is sad to say that some children would be safer living on the street than within the confines of their own home. Of sad note:

I once lived trapped within the walls
and had no one to hear my calls.
An iron fist controlled my voice
so silence was my only choice.

And:
The house was just an empty shell
with secrets I could never tell.
No laughter echoed in this space,
against the darkness I would brace.

(Heartbreaking)

s58, today you wrote something brave, and I hope that this poem sets you free. I leave a tear on your page. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

    Thank you so much for reviewing with such empathy.
    I hold your tear and it mingles with mine but this time I feel freedom not sadness and fear.
    Thank you for walking with me in this chapter of my book as I walk a path of release.
    :-) Shirley
