Imagine
I hold on to the remains of my broken soul, as it deteriorates in slow motion.
Tears flood every wound and I try to drown the thoughts but they always seem to float back to me. The remaining wounds are too deep to cover.
I can feel the screams trace my soul but no sound is heard...I can't take this anymore...OH GOD NO!
Here he comes again...shadows intersect the walls...HURRY! Pretend to sleep, DON'T MOVE, he's getting closer. PLEASE, don't start to cry, he'll notice. Just lay back and get it over with. Now just IMAGINE, sink into oblivion and escape this reality.
Let's see where will I go today?
OH I KNOW, I want float on the ocean and swim in the clouds.
Dance with the dolphins and soar high with the birds.
Sing with the mermaids and race with the honey bees.
Swing on the waves and balance on the sun's rays.
He's almost done... DON'T STOP...just IMAGINE
Where we're we? Oh Yeah! Explore every inch of the sky and count the sea shells.
Befriend all the angels and make peace with all creation.
Slide down the rainbow and name all the stars while I kiss every raindrop that descends from the Heavens.
"I love you"... he's finally through, THANK GOD!!!
"I love you too, Daddy," I whisper as he leaves my room.
Could you just IMAGINE?

no.
cannot.
only imagination would be
a sickle in one hand, and a head in the other.
expression, dark.

This expresses a pain so many here have lived at the hands of men they trusted ... it's hard to read but thank you for giving voice to the voiceless

Yes, I'm afraid you're absolutely right about how it happens to many. It's sick but true. I am who I am today because of my past just like many. Unfortunately, I tried to voice what he did but he got away with it because of no physical proof. So, to whoever reads this and maybe going through the same thing or similar, make sure you have physical proof. Although I passed my like detector test and he failed his 3 times...it wasn't enough. Also, know that it is possible to heal from the pain it just takes time and forgiveness is key. The forgiveness is for yourself so you don't live in anger.
