bodies for breaking

ummm... not out to cause offence...

i refuse to say
(or even think)
you ruined my life

you
(whoever and wherever you are)
are a powerless coward

you can break my body
but you'll never break me

uterus graffiti
is all you are
and its hard to scrub
those walls clean
(walls not yours to write on)
but believe me
i will

you can break my body
but you'll never break me

Way to go mate, get right back up again, never let grubbs take U down emotionally for anymore than the necessary grieving time.

Hope all is well,
Hugs

She is dwelling on that emotional back alley too much, let the wound close and look if she must, a the scar from time to time to remind her that she's a survivor!

"uterus graffiti" . . . Gotta love it . . . I like this spit-in-the-face-with-a-big-old-yellow-one poem . . .

Very intense, Cedric! One must heal in body first, then the mind needs to be nourished through love for oneself. Never allow another to abuse you, you are worth all the gold in the universe, and no one has the right to tarnish it!
Peace, Love, and Light to you my dear,

Powerful write against the monsters who prey on those they think helpless...but sometimes...the helpless strike back. Well done J.

There is a strength in here amidst the horror of abuse: to bend, but never break: excellently, painfully expressed. Well done, Cedric.

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

powerful, graphic... perhaps uncomfortable in the way truly effective art is... but offensive? Not to me. Rather, I read it as a cry of triumph, though whose cry exactly, that's a mystery. This could be read many ways, which is, of course, part of your neverending genius.
