Don'T Touch Me.

More fragile than oldest antique, dirtier than history itself, angrier than stormiest night; more delicate than frost in the hand, I'm frightened, used, bruised, abused and b r o k e n. Don't touch me. I need you but gently, be with me, help build me and trust me. Don't push me, or use me, nor scare me. Share with me, teach me, just s l o w l y until I'm ready.... Don't touch me.

Don't know if this is for children or for anybody, I think it could be for both. Sounds like for someone very abused. Good look into the psyche! thanks for your comments today, Anna-Marie. Luv, Andrea

Neat construction and compelling expression... it takes time to give and receive trust, the underpinning of any successful relationship, so do take your time... God bless, Keith

Your message is written so the point gets across extremely well. It is so powerful from an evidence of self love, self knowledge and deeply learned inner strength. Your placement of the vertical words add much to this fragile and emotional write. Let these words be heard. Amazing poetry. Love, Shar
