Self Abuse

"Self Abuse" Imagining how my own hand would taste I want to punch my own face, is that such a disgrace? I bet no one would ever know It is I that throws the blows Could I knock myself out? Or should i just hit my own mouth? Maybe Ill black my left eye Ill use the right one to cry just how long will it take once I am out to awake? This way I will recieve love and sympanthy And lots of company who pities me Come on its time for the show Today I will start by busting my nose!

Karen, this is a very touching subject. Many will read this and relate to this kind of abuse or other forms of abuse. God, bless us all, especially the one's who found the strength in knowing we are not alone..... Congratulations, in Susan's "ABUSE" contest... Goodnight **PD

If its true, don't blame yourself, as it takes a lot of courage to do that, my son would bang his hand to wall break it instead of hitting back his abusive partner. What you did is because you are a very sensitive human being, and kind.Take care congrats. Love Terry xoxo
