The Hands of Who

As a child his life seemed hard and he often questioned why Beaten and bruised by his father he'd sit and watch his mother cry Low confidence and self esteem by 14 drugs and alcohol he'd used He didn't understand why but he felt very confused He met his soulmate and a family of his own he started Finally he felt that happiness in his life was granted As a parent he couldn't understand how you could neglect Taking your child somewhere unsafe when as a parent you're meant to protect As time passed he started recalling memories of a child being abused All those years gone and his memories he'd refused Affecting his life a decision was needed on what he now should do Disclose that he's a victim of abuse and inform at the hands of who Will it help the process, help him heal and his life get through He can't forget or forgive, can you really blame him would you? 8 April 2016
