A Choice

21. Naive. Lied to. Deceived. Physical abuse. Blue line. Smile. Forced. Everything will be fine. Abdomen swell. Breasts sore. She's scared. He cheats. Abuse becomes more. Appointment. White coats. Bloods. Signature. Heart heavy. Heat beat. Grainy images. Tiny hands and feet. Alone. Little girl. No one to help. She makes a choice. She can't hear God's voice. Procedure. Wake with amnesia. Horror of the choice drowns her. Forever guilty. Forever broken. A child gone unknown. A choice?

Else I grew up with abuse. Spent much time hiding with my dog under my bed. This is powerful writing. If its about you dear heart let it go like a past life , You have learned from. Live now in the preasent moment .Thats how I cope with my childhood ,being a soilder in Viet Nam etc. In the moment I can be happyin moment. I can love myself and others. Be free!

This was powerful, yet sad. The pain in between the lines is something not many will understand. Respect to you for this piece.
