Self Abuse comes in many forms and for many reasons. WATCH FOR SIGNS, BE AWARE!
When I found her, she was as a doll the porcelain kind Kohl black yet slight infractions, her spider web eyes Intricacy with a vagueness something was missing
Her lips a palish blue, silent appearing to kiss the moon Her skin was chalked white all color drained She appeared to have found frailty's other half her body motionless, hands seemingly isolated
She is a victim of broken promises, she lives now in dreams, my dreams She is my silver bullet, she is that which haunts, torments me She is the brine she the salt of my tears
If only I had listened, of my heart, my love she was never unworthy She forever my little star, no shadow of doubt You see she is my daughter bringing home more than a soft knowledge of self abuse
Thank you Nikki, I'm sorry I'm just now reading your wonderful words of encouragement and I thank you for them. Thank you as well for catching my grammatical error. I pray you continue to enjoy my work. Keep writing and rhyming. Take care, simply rita
Written only as an extremely loving mother could, Nikki, and we all can feel your pain.

The pain I feel reading it, I pray you find peace within, words don't suffice how to express the heartbreak I feel for you.
Indeed it is wonderful to see you writing once more..
My heart breaks for this little child. Her suffering was uncalled for, listen, always listen to the little shining star. As a parent I thank you for sharing this.
This has to be one of the most heart-wrenching writes I have read in a long while...
"A Mother's Lament" truly is disturbing to another mother...especially having my own teenagers!
At times I can feel their struggles with the new pressures of high school and friends who come and go...the images they conjure up out of misunderstandings...etc...It worries a parent everyday! We must never let a day go by without sharing our wisdom and concerns...staying on top of the problem before they even exists!
Thank you for sharing...I know this had to be very difficult for you to write!
My heart goes out to you and yours...Be Blessed~
Love and Peace~

Nicole my heart breaks to read of this sad condition. I pray help will be found that provides an answer for future recovery. I'm so happy to see you back! Have missed you, though this one hurts to read, you never lose your gift for writing!
This is so incredibly sad and tugs at the very heart of me, Nicole. No mother should ever have to go through what you've written about. A timely message to all parents.
Love,
CJ
An eye-opener...candid and speakable truth...low self-esteem, especially in teen girls gives signals...a mother does hear, a womb cry many years after the child has been born...it's good to see you back posting, Nicole...
A powerful warning to parents to talk to their children, to LISTEN to them. A powerful warning to children to talk to their parents, to LISTEN to them. You may have saved lives today. Well done.
When Kathy finds a small stray kitten some amazing things happen. Story's from a Mom's view of the love, caring and patience needed when a child wants to own a pet. Recipient of the prestigious Mom's Choice Award. Delightful illustrations!
