puberty
A father takes, eyes closed, that which he has no right
A child cries, traumatized, a closet hides her pain
The child dies, awakes to find- a woman in her place
her damaged mind- cannot abide- the change her body makes
The woman stands- naked and alone- facing mirrored images
backs away- cuts today- appraising all her damages
rearrange- her bodies change- sculpt it down to size
to take away- the ugly place- I cut it with a knife

I simply cannot stop reading your work
Is it because
I feel I'm helping you
like any good listener should
or
is it because
I feel a connection
like I'm not alone
or
maybe
I admire your strength
whatever the reasons
(my money is on all the above)
Hats off to you. XOXO

Now I'm blushing. I think growing up the way we did makes us connected. We can help strengthen each other because we are not alone. I feel as if all children of abuse are brothers and sisters in a sick demented way. lol thank you for your wonderful comments.

Shaunda,
It one of those things: If it hasn't happened to a person it's impossible to fully explain. If it has happened to them no need to explain.
You show us this so beautifully and your strength shines through.
Bless you.

I don't think I've seen this style in a very long time. It's crafted tragically in a delicate way (if that makes sense). Cutting is an addiction I hope all overcome and bastards like this man will get what's coming to him one day.
On a side note, misery does love company, I dish that shit out too haha.

Thank you so much. I had no idea that I had a style. lol. And yes you do dish this shit out. And very well, I might add. This was in 1973 before cutting was popular. Never knew I'd be a trend setter. haha

This is marked with my blood all over it. True to fact, just last week I closed up my closet, my hiding space after so time, so much, so much, so much. Im glad to be back and I love your writings and thank you for the kindness you showed to me from the get go! This is the last writing on the wall I put in my locked closet...

As a child I truly hid in my bedroom closet from my father. Quiet as a mouse with my PB & jelly sandwiches, my coffee can to piss in ( the bathroom wasn't safe ), and my books of poetry (Edgar Allen Especially). Only later did I realize that I carried that closet in my mind with me. As you well know, a child has to do whatever they can to survive mentally. You are so welcome. I'm sorry I've been neglectful by not coming to D.U.P. I'll try harder. haha. God I'm a dork. thank you for reading my story and appreciating my words.

It's so hard to come back from something like this. I'm glad to see that you made it.
