<font color="green">[b]Locked Away

Little innocent playing on the floor
Mommy and daddy her whole world
But daddy’s been sick; mommy seems strange.
What’s a little girl to do?

When daddy is gone to work
Is when her world is full of fear?
Where dishtowels bind hands and feet
And mommy hurts her body and soul.

Bruises, scrapes and burns
Seem to magically appear
Daddy wonders about his little girl
When did she become so clumsy?

His doubts become fears
As her nightmare continues
Till he finds mommy hurting her
And takes her away.

Given to strangers
Who use and abuse her
She learns to keep her secrets
Carefully locked away.

dalila,

I feel for you, I really do. I especially feel for how you have kept secret the pain inflicted on you. That's such a lonely, frightening place to be. I have been there. I really encourage you to keep revealing the secrets here, to help take away their power and give you space to heal.

be well,

That has a strange resonance for me.

I understand all too well and want you to know how very brave you are to share. It is a good thing and we are here to listen and support you. Thank you for trusting us and sharing.

<font color="green">Thank you, it has been a long journey and I have not yet arrived. I do feel I am getting stronger, but often I feel lost. I am sorry that so many others have walked this path too, but I can say there is light, there is an end in sight.

My T says my poetry is changing - she said that I am talking more directly instead of vaguely. I sort of hope I don't have go back step by step cos I really don't care to write more about csa. However I am bound and determined to heal, whatever it takes. sighhhhh.</font>
