FRAGILE Vacant eyes stare across the room unblinking Arms wrapped around legs pulled tight to her chest Rocking, rocking, rocking�incessant rocking A faint moan rises up to mingle with the silence She sits hidden from view behind the chair It�s the only fortress she could find She�s ill prepared to battle the demon The one to which she�s married Trapped within herself she feels no pain She hears not the vile names she�s called Nor does she feel the fists that pommel her Her fragile skin bears the marks of many attacks Screams of pain were of no use against her tormenter It�s as if it were music to his ears He bore that evil grin like a badge of honor Dare me�Beg me�Plead all you want Give him more reasons to beat her down again That�s when the silence falls within her He can�t fight against a stone That is what she is A stone that Rocks�rocks�rocks� Dee �November 2007

This is something I guess I will never understand
How one person can do that to another
I think all abusive people should be put on an island and let them abuse eachother

Cracks beneath my skin reading this -- powerful, powerful write. It is so upsetting--these children, most of them raised by parents that dote on them--what a waste of humanity--I don't even know what to say. People like that should not be allowed to couple! --Charlie

Painful to read...she might want to be a rock, but rocks don't have hearts that bleed with each fist or hurtful word...excellent.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
