Would You Want To Stay

Would you want to stay? The secret's that surrounds this house The Beating's that took place The lies I was told to say will never go away. Would you want to stay? If only you knew, the horror that I endured, every single day. If you took up the carpet you would see all the blood stains left by me. Would you want to stay? Take down the wall paper an you can see the blood stain prints If go to the room where daddy did things to me you'll see, my claw marks in beaded in the grain of wood beneath this piece. Would you want to stay? Look in the basement, did you find the bolt where I was chained too. This home holds many horrors lots of pain an memories that will never go away. Would you still want to stay.... /

I wouldn't want to stay. Very sad write here. The atrocity people do to their children is unfathomable. Like you, I lived a life with broken nose and broken face and broken body and spirit. Never allowed to go to the doctor after the bloody beatings. I had to have surgery in the last 10 years to my face to try to repair a cheek opened to the bone by my father. My cheek was sagging from not being repaired as a child. I'm so sorry you were chained like an animal. I am here for you sister dear. a7
