I spun in circles turning the other cheek
until I'd bore a hole into the ground
a well of self doubt that never runs dry
You can't understand why I haven't forgiven
the tyranny of your kingdom of lies
'Father' a title you took but never earned
Your words stung worse than your belt ever did

Hello Raphael

Your words chilled me to the bone and were filled with so much hurt and sorrow.  Thank you for sharing your innermost thoughts with us and I wish you well.

Take care......Sue

Cool!

Spinning just like Superman did in the movies when he went straight into the sewer after the villain! Thought only Superman was able to do that! How foolish of me!  LOL

Thanks for sharing!
God Bless!

Thanks everybody who wrote. Thanks for bearing through it.
Not an easy write but felt the need to purge. It's more a dedication to my brother who suffered the worst and the longest.
