Forsaken

No one heard me when I cried I was all alone with my tears, they chose not to weep for me No one knew I was hurting I was all alone with my pain, they chose not to feel for me No one knew I was afraid I was all alone with my fear, they chose not to rescue me No one knew I felt angry I was all alone with my rage, they chose not to feel fury for me No one knew I was being violated I was all alone with my abuser, they chose to look away from me No one heard my quieted voice I was all alone in that dreadful situation they chose not to hear my cry for help I reached out, but I was all alone, no one was there, just him.

A most hurt being and voice after invasion of privacy for possible sexual molestation. Violators would choose a smart time for Molestation, entrenching in one a feeling of abandonment.

WOW Judy. This poignantly expressed poem made me wish I could reach through the computer and rescue you from your father. I am so sorry this happened to you. May God hold you tenderly in the palm of His hand. Hugs to you!

Thank you Jennifer for your comment. I will take a virtual hug. Family were aware and said or did nothing.

Plague of our times, child abuse is rampant, yet parents and caretakers hold not trust of the child to confide
