I was just a little girl Barely turning seven You said you had a gift for me A trail way straight to heaven You grabbed me by the hand Said, "Come on, lets go play" Took me to the barn And threw me in the hay The trail way led to terror A place full of tears and pain You said, "Stop your crying" And "It won't hurt again" Then when I tried to tell people What you put me through They turned and shook their heads Said it wasn't something you would do So silently I suffered As the months kept passing by My size kept getting bigger And at school I learned to fight The fateful day finally came When you tried to corner me I shoved you back against the wall And hit you with my knee Storm clouds were gathering When the power all went out The lightening flashed brightly When you struck me in the mouth I struck out one more time Then ran out to the rain Straight through the pastures When I heard you scream my name The lighting was flashing brighter The thunder booming loud Above the wind and rain I heard a scary sound Slipping in the wet grass I tried to get quickly to my feet The hooves were pounding harder Realized I was stuck in a stampede I had the choice to stay or run When I saw you looking for me With the pounding hooves all around I decided in the rain to flee I ran for my life that night Using the horses for cover And drowning out my sobs Was the loud sounding thunder I have a deep respect for lightening Whenever a storm passes by But the thunder still scares me Throws me back into that night All my friends think I'm crazy When I flinch at the sound But you had murder in your eyes And help was no-where around With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |

Now this one roars with pain and I do hope that this is not a true to life for you. The fear and the pain are so vivid and you have painted it all too well. I commend you on that and if it is true to life for you I will be shedding tears for you and sending hugs and prayers your way as well. |

Dear Broken-Winged-Angel, Thank you for reposting this. I think the only solice is knowing that these people will have to face their judgment day. You truly are an angel, hoping now to mend broken wing. Corinne |

Mark, Unfortunately, yes...it's real life. All of my poems are based on what's happened to me...*ponders* Well, that is most of them. I write what I feel and know, and if it makes other people feel, then it's good. If it doesn't, then I didn't write good enough. Thankyou for your comments. Corinne, Yes, that is the only solice I've been able to find. Thankyou for your response. Nicole With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |

*bows* This is certainly a poem that I shall never forget... And the loud thunder I hear screaming outside my window this very second, adds to the entire atmosphere. You are a brave soul, not only to have experienced these horrific events, but to actually have the courage to share them with others so openly. Another note I'd like to add on this poem, is that the words and lines run together VERY smoothly, and is, with a disreguard to it's meaning, is a delight to read. *bows* A man in a bubble is a man in trouble. |

angel~ very vivid indeed, I could feel every emotion in this and the pain and sorrow. What horror...I can't begin to imagine what you must have went through, I only hope you are getting through it and can live today with some normality even though it must be hard. I was touched deeply by this HUGS Tracie~ Love is the life of the soul... It is the harmony of the universe |

Natelan, Thankyou. I was kinda wondering if it was smooth or not...You're the first to remark on it..  Tracie, More or less I am.. Thankyou for your concern and remarks on the poem. With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |

don't know what to say, I was there too, recognize the feelings that no one believes you..... I was there too, and I was younger than you, abused for many years, surround with people, but alone with the truth, maybe I will share the poems that I wrote about that time, thanks for sharing yours, (((hugs)) Charisma |

Charisma, I'm sorry that you went there too The pain and fear only you knew At that time was not right at all Trust me, someday he/she will fall Judgement comes but once a life They'll pay then for all the strife Caused to others like you and me More and more people are beginning to see When a child reaches out for help More people are there to make it well.  *grimace* Sorry, I'm tired...and that doesn't sound quite right..but there ya go.. Thankyou for your response.With a little piece of tomorrow, You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye. Because today won't last forever, And the past will only make you cry. |

This was written perfectly. I could feel your pain and confusion. I am sorry no one would believe you. My heart goes out to you and all others who have been faced with the same story. May there be a special place in HELL for all who have put an innocent child thru this. |

I know the pain and fear, and I am glad that more people start to believe the childeren from today. and believe me, the one who did this to me, well people adored him.....till his last breathe. thanks for your cheering words, I can deal with it now,(big mouth said so). but I think that you know, what I mean. btw. I came several times here, to read your poem, so many feelings came up....tried to reply...but couldn't earlier, cause my emotions were to heavy. Charisma |
