So each morning when I awoke
Another piece of my heart was broke
I tried to live from day to day
And moved along in a somewhat normal way
My mom would have to work until late at night
Sometimes we were lucky if we even caught a sight
For she worked all of her waking hours
So what little food we had, they could devour
Alot of times we ate off the tips she made
She tried to scrimp and tried to save
Then when I was very young
A man I knew took my insides and when he was done
The things he did hurt me so
I didn't know if I was to leave or go
My heart continued to break
At every touch that he would make
Noone ever knew until I was older
Noone knew that my heart had turned colder
Finally we were rid of him
I went back to my life once again
My mom felt so lost in this great big world
With two little boys and a middleaged girl
So I pushed everything way deep down
And hope noone would find what I had found
I gave up lots of things as a child
To see both of my brother's smile
I figured why in the world should they hurt
They never knew any of the dirt
An emotional wreck at the age of ten
When would be the day that I would win
So we went along day by day
Trying to stay out of each other's way

(big hugggsssssss) Though you have been through so much that no child should ever deserve to go through, and this made me cry that you were alone with your brothers coping with the dilemmas then, your golden heat and compassion shines in this poem and you just continue to reveal more of the special person you are to every one of us as we get to know you and love you more and more! (angel friendship hugs) God Bless You, sweet friend, you have come a long way and your wonderful life story has yet to see much more blessings and joy, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Crystal, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Crystal, I really don't know what to say,
or how to express the way your words touched
my heart. Just keep writing, my friend.  
Hugs to you

Noah:Thank you.I share in the thought of not hiding who I am.Also to let those around know that if they are going through this, there is no shame and the victim is not to blame.

the_loner_23:Thank you.Writing is a very good healing tool for me.

QJQ:Thanks.I can say I've never had someone tell me my writing has affected them that much.It means alot.

Ethel:Thank you.You know I will always write, for I'm determined not to let insanity take over...hehehhehe

crystal,

excellent write! i relate to this more
than i would care to admit. your pain
is shown clearly. i'm sorry you had to
go through this. but i know that through
our experiences we grow stronger and we
never stop learning. if you would like to
chat one day, let me know.
take care.

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"
