at sixteen my life was shattered no, I did not cry instead I got mad as hell it was my introduction to the Auschwitz of my soul leaving my home two years later I soon became completely beguiled by perfume and soft, soft lips ah yes psychiatrists would have had a field day explaining to me all those women were substitutes for my biological mother probably yeah, they'd be right still . . . all those women was also a substitute for the adopted one complicated in the telling but not so complicated in my thoughts those years I feared nothing subconsciously walked around, a chip on my whole being faced death more times than I should have faced it down didn't care again subconsciously wished for it I believe people when they have seen the complete and utter disregard for the sanctity of life ©July 28, 2013 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one. ~*~ |

I do imagine the writing this out from deep beneath must do good for your very sad childhood plight. I wish you much peace everlasting. I read this and I feel so grateful for my parents that were forever financially struggling but gave love to their kids. Thanks for bringing this to us |

Appreciate your kind thoughts and comments. Yes, writing about portions of my life has been very therapeutic over the years. It continues to be. Good to see you this morning. ~*~ You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one. ~*~ |
