My Spirit

My spirit stays strong, even through the darkest of times.
Suddenly it was taken away. Pleading and begging him to get off me. Invisible my cries went for years. Ripped out from underneath me, my childhood was stolen. Isolated scared and guilt ridden. Taking away apart of me forever in an instant.
Cory long 9-4-2011 Write it deep and dramatic, Please contest.
