Rag Doll

mentally battered limp and torn,
stuffing ripped out - self esteem gone,
verbally punched my spirit is low,
I.ll stitch myself together and find a new home.

oh but it sounds like a very well loved rag doll. Thanks for commenting on my entry. I'm not telling but I am much older than you are, at seventy you should still be skipping and running. Love, Joyce

External and internal scarring will need to be repaired. I can just see this rag doll. Topic that needs to be talked about knowledge is importatnt. The more we know the better we can help prevent these happening. Keep writing. Sara
