Exceptional They say you cannot fall off the floor.... Passion For Poetry : The Bottom by Lea Tonin1 Free Verse Poetry Contest contest entry

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  Author Notes 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.
