If I could tell you... How I felt... Every time... The monster... Whipped me... With his belt.... Welts upon my flesh... He left... But they're not... The only... Scars... You'll see... Pain still festers... Deep... Inside of me... Tears... Drowning... With my pleas... The Mother... Who... Forsook me. Vickie Thayer 2018

Vickie: I've just read 5-6 of your pieces. I found each of them, as this one, in a word, captivating. Thank you for bringing such depth to my day. Keep them coming. And thank you for sharing them with all of us on the soup. oldbuck
