Abused

An old rusty razor, to shave my head bald My forearms your ashtray, my eyes your pin cushion A bleach, ammonia bath twice a day, in scalding hot water You may ask why I harp on my youth in such a fashion The answer : Statistics, 83.4% of abused children : Abuse; When they become adults does that hidden untold story :Live again? Did My LORD JESUS, take Lenore to Save a generations' : “ Psyche “ ? If so I am Pleased Author’s Note : I’m not sure if I have set this in the right Form, Please Advise

Abuse is a terrible thing..Sometimes it is not so bold..Sometimes it is hidden in little remarks, little daggers that belittle, and guilt trips that destroy..Good one and a good topic that needs awareness..Good luck in the contest.Sara

Dear HG, I read this and am saddened as it seems we're living continuously, in a world of abuse. Still, I have hope that one day things will be as they should. We will live in a world free from all abuse, disrespect and discord. As for your beloved Lenore, I'm sure she had done her Father's bidding so light returned unto light!! Take some joy in that, my friend! God bless you always. Love, Annalise
