Ciao !
I did not know about your childhood trauma . My heart goes out to you .
I'm sorry you are still feeling the pain.
If your mother had believed you that would have been a big help instead she not only called you a liar but also blamed you for their breakup.
Not only on her death bed could she show some love towards you.
Writing about your ordeal can only help you to rid all that turmoil within you.
I know you as a very kind hearted person.
I hope you can find soon inner peace , you deserve it.

Tempeste,
Thank you for the wonderful review my sweet friend. That trauma affected every decision I made throughout my life. The pain is still there, but not as strong as it used to be. I have my writing that helps get it out and that makes me feel better. I don't think I will ever be a 100% free from it. The biggest part of the pain is that my mother never believe me. She was always in denial.
Thank you for the 6 beautiful stars and being my friend.
Cecilia

What a wonderful free verse, though sad, it tells of how our childhood can affect us through life, though we move on some of our past will always stay with us, an excellent read, very well written, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

Kahpot,
Thank you for the kind review. I chose to be strong and not let my past define me. I have bad days on occasion, but they are few and far in between.

Comment from LJbutterfly
A young child suffering alone through a traumatic experience is heartbreaking. A child suffering without an adult's support is devastating. Your emotional poem conveys these feelings so well that the reader can understand how an entire life can be affected. Counseling can only make suggestions. It can't stop the pain. Writing that can help others is the greatest thing you can do.

LJ,
Thank you for the kind review. I learned a long time ago to take care of myself and I didn't let the abuse define who I am today. I have worked hard to get past that horrible time in my life. I am a survivor and a warrior. I have bad days every now and then, but they are few and far in between.

This is very moving Cecelia and you really have written it from the depths of your heart and that takes courage and strength and love, all of the amazing things you now thrive on thought life's been horrid in the past. You are a force to be reckoned with having been through all that and you keep fighting the fight shining your light.
Well done
Love

Thank you for the kind review and the kind words. It does stick with you and it can ruin your life if you let it. I am a warrior and will win. I still have days where it bothers me more than other. I have handed it over to God for him to help heal me.

Comment from jacquelyn popp
Your poem strongly captures the emotional toll of unresolved childhood trauma and the intense struggle to move forward in life. The raw vulnerability that you share, paired with the imagery of a life overshadowed by pain and numbness, paints a vivid picture of onrernal conflict.
The repetition of being "stuck in the past " and the overwhelming sense of being unable to escape the cycle of trauma creates a powerful sense of helplessness and isolation. Overall, your poem is a profound exploration of the lasting impact of childhood trauma. A fine write. Thanks for sharing.

Jacquelyn,
Thank you for the great review. Some days I am stuck in the past. I have turned my pain over to God and that helps me live a somewhat normal life.

Comment from Benny Beeharry
This a very heart breaking ...not story but truth coming out fro a great depth. The person who should have believed and helped you was your mother but for selfish reasons perhaps she preferred her boy friend ..it is sad. Now the problem is yours and yours only. Learn to control your fear by joining some meditation class .at least your mind will be quiet and consequently your heart. This will let you live on and be brave and be careful.
This is a very brutal and selfish world.

Benny,
Thank you for the kind review. I have handed my problems over to God. He is my strength when I don't have any. It's because of Him I don't curl up and die. I choose to keep living and fighting my demons.

Hi I am glad you made a great decision ,you pulled strength from inside and strengthen your faith in God.
A life is something precious and you do not have it for free. There is a price. I am still paying.

Comment from Rick Gardner
Tears to my eyes, a feeling of deep sadness. Wish I could help someway, a childhood of dreadful memories. Memories of pain, of feeling unloved, of being abused. I will pray for you for the rest of my life. I am one you can trust forever.

I wonder how many of us 'fake it till I make it'? I have a feeling there's many adult, as well as children who continue to 'fake it till I make it'. I enjoyed reading your contest entry and wish you luck with the contest. You're on my prayer list.

Barbara,
Thank you for the kind review. We have to fake it, till we make it or life would be truly miserable. Life goes on no matter your trauma and I could have curled up and died, but I chose to keep going.

Comment from Angel Debbie
So sorry to hear and yes, Memories can linger as do good ones, there is no real way to remove all of them, my best advice is one day at a time and try to let go and let God into your life. Take care friend.

Debbie,
Thank you for the kind review. I have God in my life and have turned it over to him. Somedays the memories are triggered by something I have no control over. I do take one day at a time. It's all I can do.
