Violet See Poet I do not know?

To My Soup Friends

My nickname is patty
from when i was a little girl
one small victim
in one sick world
i'm all better now 
my feelings less hurt
my son has given me
a huge feeling of worth
my soup friends
 i thank you
you guys are awesome
in a world gone mad
you've helped me blossom
one quick reminder 
of how things could be
if i let them win
then you would have never seen
exactly the fear of one little girl
entering life
 in a brand new world
call me violet now
for i am grown
 i've been through hell
and im glad its shown
i no longer feel scared or hateful
thanks to people like you
i am,, so gratefully grateful
child abuse isn't a joke
and it happens
whether you like it or not
so keep an eye out
 for little ones like me
they're everywhere people
 they're just hard to see
 we are their keepers
and should show them the way
to a better life
and a better day

Most importantly, your message of strength and perseverance is a strong and grateful encouragement to many here who are still fighting such a battle. Beautifully expressed. Love, Shar

Kristin Reynolds September 9, 2008 at 7:17 PM Hi Violet. I, too am a fellow survivor of child abuse in every form, and have only gotten stronger for all of it. I'm so glad you found your way out, as it is a very hard, hard hard road out of the darkness. Love Kristin

Carrie Richards September 9, 2008 at 6:01 PM Right on!!! I'm so happy to know that whatever evil you have endured, you have come out to be a stronger, caring and healty person!! It is evident that you have a gift of a better understanding than most of us....you have lived through it, but survived. Now capable of helping others. And YES...we are all responsible to watch out for helpless children. We need to get involved, not turn our eyes the other way. Bless you, and hooray for your spirit! Your friend...~Carrie
