They say you cannot fall off the floor....
A chapter in the book Passion For Poetry

The Bottom

by Lea Tonin1

The fall great and long does not flatter,
systematic destruction ending of self
comes by those who protest too much
earnest face of love disguised as family
 
Take all possessions and the means to regain
the door of future recovery slams with smiles 
ride the slide to the bottom, a mountain they built 
snatch away the net meant to save 
 
Elimination their goal, no recourse they left
nothing and no one they must be to me
I wait for my karmic guest to display her wares
so I write until then, my soul they cannot have

My family took all I had. They planted the seeds of deception to ensure my doors to recover were closed. Manipulated and lied to make their idea of me true, to the authorities, to the people I loved, to other members of the family, in my career, interfered with my sons and my grandchild who is only thirteen years of age. Because I would not bend to the practice of pain regularly carried out in my family.
