Betrayed

What would you do
If it all came back to you

Your childhood betrayed 
You took my trust away

Without even asking me
Now, what should I do?

Now what will become of me

If I told on you
What would you do

What would become of you

I wanted to mention that I have seen numerous therapists throughout my life. Some were incompetent and I stopped seeing those. There was one marvelous one who helped me understand what happened to me when I was young and how to put the pieces back together in a meaningful way. Many things I never believed in, were suddenly real to me. The primary example is hypnosis....me (the scientific one) thought it was mumbo jumbo until I experienced it for myself and saw how it could help finding truth.

Trust only in God..The One God, who has been From the beginning, who will be forever be Careful of those who regard to much this passing world 'although it is splendid' it is not A speck on its creator ' satan is in turmoil he makes much of 'the green agenda' yet he fears Loosing his current habitation' thats his motive Its cloak and dagger, from the little stabber.'

Sometimes silence is golden. But who really knows?

To me this is a serious betrayal. One that I am glad you can write about. You are in my prayers. Nicely done.

This brings back the memory of something I read once about the slaves in the 1800's. One of them was crying because of all the horrible things they endured and her mother said she should always remember that no one could really hurt her. They can hurt your body but you are NOT your body, you are INSIDE your body which is just a vessel that holds you until you return to The Father. No one that you don't allow IN can really hurt YOU if you don't let them IN. This is a fine write. God Bless, JB

A hard question to answer. Forgiveness can soothe the soul.

An interesting question in this world of ours. More people are speaking up, and that is what should be. On another note, I have been work saturated. I am on vacation for a couple of weeks. So I am able to be here. Your work is unique in its directness. You are able to do much with very few words.
