This is a cruelly sad and heartbreaking poem. The subject matter is so sensitive and you are very bold to share this.
I still witness outbursts of depression from someone very close to me, after nearly half a decade this happened to her!!

    M Mario, I thank you. It is hard to relive but he stole too much. Therapy does recommend to talk about it to help others talk about it. He was my godfather and threatened something bad would happen to my dad if I told so this man took away my entire life til 40 which was when I told, right after he died. I waited because then it would have really happened as I feared what my dad would do. In therapy 25 yrs & I won't let him destroy what time I have left. '
    Thanks for the caring words my friend ..

    I can feel your pain and revolt. You have the control of your life in your hands right now, and since you were so bold and courageous to speak up, I have no doubt that your precious mind and your beautiful soul are healing. Yes, talking about it is the way to go. My wife had been raped since childhood by her mother's then boyfriend. Five decades later, she still carries the scars. It's a monstrous thing and men have been doing it in all impunity. You are brave, and please live your life to the fullest now. We can't change the past but we learn from it and it makes us stronger.
    Love
    Mario

    This is why now I need to let people know how much I care about them because I could only fear and hate before. You will understand when you see who I am..
    I will pray for your wife. She is lucky and blessed to have you.

It is a sad story that a girl lost her innocent childhood but grew up with no
Joy and laughter.

A childhood experience can affect people's life.

Thank you for sharing this story. Good luck to your contest.

This was haunting and tragic and all too real. Predators will use anything to get their way. The emotional scars they leave on their victims is usually so much worse than the physical injuries. It never leaves the victim and like you said, the lies build and build. Heartbreaking. Gretchen

powerful and moving poem about child sex abuse and the lasting damage it does to the victim and the victimizer and the horror of violating the innocent children.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Haunting, moving, and beautifully horrifying, my friend! It is a heart-wrenching concept to read, and more so to express- I commend you for it because unfortunately, it is reality to so many precious children. These babies are silenced and often struggle to or never find their voice!
Well done, exceptional writing! Xoxoxox
Love Jess

Hi
This is a good use of the words to describe the damage of sexual abuse on a child. It is so sad and never should happen,
Keep writing and stay healthy

The author's words are heartfelt, descriptive and creative. I found this
poem heart breaking bringing me to tears. Thank you so much for
the author's notes - the National Sexual Assault Hotline will encourage
those assaulted to get help - thank you. The artwork goes well with the
words of this poem. Have a great weekend!...Maria

Child abuse is terrible, and worse than that sexual abuse is probably worse. It's a life sentence on that child, it's possibly worse than murder, because the pain goes on till some miracle can happen, beautifully written my friend, good luck, blessings Roy
