i hid

I feel so out of it
a session of remembering
a session of memories...
of hiding....
yes, we hid today....
no closets, ne bed, but we still hid
then there were the voices
screaming... yelling at me
needs, for self destruction
to cut... to harm... to add physical pain
to the emotional kind-
we cried today...
deep wrenching sobs that broke our
spirit-
and we called your name
but you werent listening....
that is our salvation....
the memories were of your touches
of the feelings of "love" and lust that
kept alive all those years....
and the pain...
your hands hurting
your mouth tasting, biting, yelling
and telling me you love me....
your grown-man's body on top of
the child...
what did I do wrong.....

may be triggering

What a powerful expression, through art, of feelings of a victim of child molestation! The punch line was a *mea culpa* which highlighted the way that victims are too often made to feel that they are the guilty ones.
In your case, I sincerely hope that the passion with which you crafted the words to articulate the experience and the final lines of the poem helped to alleviate the pain and eliminate the guilt.
Your effort here is monumental.
Regards, Patrick Talty

I KNOW this pain too. As hard as it is for you to accept it is NOT your fault.There is no "perfect child" you could have been to protect you from this.
Unfortunately the ones who were to protect us...were the problem.
Excellent write.

Very emotional writings here. Your last question was what did I do wrong... BUt you did nothing wrong. The blame is not yours but theres. I am so sorry for your pain. No child should ever have to live that.
