Lost in my dissociative unrealistic world

****************************************************
This poem I wrote during one of my dark times but i could still see light...It is really to my abuser too...
****************************************************
To My Abuser

I hope you burn in hell
Hell, you know what you did to me
Me as in I
I don't know
Know what you thought, felt, cared
Cared? What care?
Care is not in your dictionary
Dictionary in your mind
Mind you, you never cared if I died
Died as in dead
Dead. Now look who's dead
Dead as in not-living
Not-living as in gone
Gone with the wind
Wind is what I was to you after the last time you abused me
Me as in I
I don't ever want to think about you again
Again as in forever,
****************************************************

Love Always,
Manda aka POD

A great poem and a great start to a "career" here at Passions.  As far as constructive critique I don't believe that your constant repeating the ending of the last line at the beginning of the next line technique did any justice to your message or your poem.  Rather, it encumbered the presentation and flow of the poem.  

However, on the positive side, your poem is very honest and hard-hitting.  You are not afraid of "telling it like it is."  I admire that quality, especially when it's in someone who's been through what you've been through.

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

I'm gonna try not to say anything as to what I feel about the person who did this to you, but I concur with earlier comments: Excellent show of emotions and incredibly painful yet true. The flow was phenomenal!

(And...yeah, I hope the...*ahem*...person...has a miserable life.)

If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work:  "Hello.  Can't work today, still queer." (If only...>; P)

Thank you to everyone that replied..It brought a smile to my face...For those of you who commented on the guy who hurt me, he died not too long ago from emphazyma (sp?), but I still deal with the aftermath..But survival is the key...Anyways, thanks everyone..Keep shining!

Love Always,

I really liked this poem because i know the feeling of what it is like to be abused.I've been abused three different times, by three different people, but along the way I managed to help somebody else.Which made me feel better about myself and what a loser those guys really were!!!Keep on writing!!I'll want to read some more!

MY mom was in a relationship where she was abused. My parents were married for 18 years and the last 5 years were pure hell for her. I admire your courage to leave it took my mom years. Just know that you are better then him and don't let him continue to ruin your life

Write for yourself and take other's critisim in stride, for if your not true to yourself why write at all?

hey again Manda.  i'm tryin to read all your stuff 'cause we have the same name, almost   this 1 is my favorite so far.  i actually loved the way you picked up on the last word and carried it over to the next line.  a nice technique and i thought it actually added to the angry effect.
