Comment from John Ciarmello
This is a beautiful piece! Yes, bars will not hold back the constant torment forced upon the victim. I cannot and do not want to imagine lifelong mental and physical pain. Great write.

Children are so often victims of predators and unable to do anything about it. Your poem is a lovely tribute to all those who have suffered abuse in their childhood. I wish you worlds of luck in the contest.

The author's words were suspenseful until the last line. Thank you for
the author's notes - they speak volumes! I found these words expressed
with details and intense feelings. The artwork is well chosen and
compliments the theme and words of this poem.

Kahpot, a poem of truth and a poem and message that must be heard and shared. Your message is poignant and clear. Of special note:
I bared that shame, in words of tears.
(Sadly, this is her only recourse. She get's to live with this atrocity
while evil goes free.)
A powerful writing. Well-chosen photo. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

Words are only powerful when they are heard and listened to. 'No means No' has taken a long time to be listened to for some predators bent on sexual connection.
Your poem shares an all too common story in a creative way. The acrostic flows well. This line is very emotive: 'I bared that shame, in words of tears'.

You did a great job with your powerful poem, Kahpot.
The rhymes worked well, the color scheme is perfect
as is the art choice. What stands out is the message
which comes through for all involved and for anyone
in the same predicament. Words are powerful.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes, Jan
