The Day I Ran (the frog's testimony):

And I wander alone
Past a frog on a stone
For me life began
Not in birth
Or one day in church
For me: the day I ran

The frog blinked at me
Hopped on to a leaf
Leaving me all alone
After what I'd been through
No idea what to do
Left to survive on my own

One man in the fields
Adulthood reveals
Yet I didn't know it then
Forever affected
Feeling rejected
Started before I was ten

So the frog has to stay
As I run away
From confusions I don't understand
To home I can't go
So they'll never know
Of that day in the fields on the sand

I wonder: why me?
Did it just have to be
Or did I do something wrong
Should I have taken more care
Or not have been there
Try to resist, though he was strong?

The memories that scar
Persist, hurt and marr
Forever now part of me
My frog on a tray
Someone dissected today
That day; his testimony.

This is marvelous.. I love the way you used the frog in your theme. And it is a sad story, if it's about you, I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Poetry is one of the ways to ease the pain in our souls...
