Shhhhh Listen

past present and now the future all are made of her the reasons she is her is because you let her deep in the realm of the unknown hold the truths of yesturday parrables and scriptures of what used to be she lays at night and recalls all the stages of her life in the pictures she kept she sees many different things from a lonely little girl a bit overweight to a teenager with no friends who was molested to a young lady who was having many sexual encounters now a grown woman with more problems than enough living life as it comes only getting whats passed down no respect from her family or the men she keeps around the nightmares from of her abuse still haunt her everyday the beatings she took and the scares they left will never go away so cold is her heart for it stopped beating long ago desperate is her soul that longs to grow old she cannot bare children and her body is worn out she grasps on to what little faith she keeps tucked away in the corner of her mind she realizes that her life is jaded just wanting to be loved and held is asking for way too much she uses drugs and drinks her time away only living for today ther tears she used to cry have dried up and stopped flowing body sores and rashes and needle marks cover her frail body leaving her to want to die but not having the courage to try with no hope in sight and no one to care silence is spoken in the midnight air

Hi Brandy... it is a sad fact, that many ( too many ) abused children end up this way. It is a good steady anvil to which your heart is beating Brandy. Great writing !
