Linda,
The scars on the heart will always be there but they will disappear in time to just a little bump. You will not even notice them in time. You are doing so good and a part of the healing and getting the scars down is to write things out in poetry. Good for you!
I will write you when I have a day to myself on the computer. I just found out our home computer will not be fixable until maybe next weekend, if we are lucky, our brother-in-law is going to try. I have several more poems to post too! I have been inputting one poem every time I get a chance to come to the library. I think I have time for one more poem. Take care!

Who ia this person lurking in the shadows who is ready to rob you of all confidence by whispering innuendos? He can do what he wants,
but don't ever let him take control of your soul. Tell him he is brainless and subject to a pounding that won't stop until he fall into hell. Satan has many willing followers. Stick close to your friends and don't be afraid to ask for help. Your friend Bill

Greetings Poet Linda Hill.

This is an absolute heart-wrenching write, Poet!!! It is so obvious the painful memories run very deep!!! I can only hope that with a strong and loving support system in place, it may help ease this horrific situation from ever repeating itself to anyone ever again. I just cannot understand how anyone could endure this kind of torture. My heart shall never mend, because I do know this happens all too frequently, to both genders, and especially to children. If anyone out there who reads this POWERFUL write, and happens to be in the same situation, or knows someone who is, by all means PLEASE seek out professional help immediately!!! I am sure there are telephone numbers listed, or just call your local police department at 911. We must all try and help STOP this vicious cycle of violence against each other before it�s too late!!! Although this is a terrible scenario for anyone to endure, thank you for posting this absolutely incredible piece, Poet. May the gods above always keep you and yours healthy and safe!!!

My deepest respect, gratitude, admiration and friendship.

Great timely write. I 100% relate too this Linda, many think only women suffer, and men who speak up are wimps.

Well if relating to this makes me a wimp, then I admitt high treason.

This disected my heart.

Brave write, nice kinda rant, love the last line.

Six words too use as a mantra.

Well done babe...
