What I would say to that little girl in the photo...
Tiny child,
Innocent and shy,
Already hungering for love,
For acceptance,
For answers to questions
You cannot voice:
"What is wrong with me?"
"What is it about me?"
"What have I done
To illicit such anger,
Such derision,
Even hatred,
In your collective eyes?"
Little did you know, Small One,
Of the hell that lay ahead,
Lasting well into adulthood,
And the many times you brushed by death
By your own hand,
All because
You believed you deserved
The censure and abuse
Of those around you.
But hang on!
The day will come
When you are delivered
From the constant torture,
When cosmic, benevolent sunshine
Will warm the chilly darkness
And bring you into the light
Of its profound love.
Having not experienced such pain, I can only read your words and hope to imagine what it was like. But your expression of how you felt at the time helps me and others who read this to imagine and to have empathy with your emotions.
To me (and to so many who would have the opportunity of reading these verses and relate to what they express), this is most meaningful and moving. I can relate to much of this. Thank you for sharing, Rebecca. Love and best wishes,
