This is a story about a battered woman.

My spirit cries  out..Please…Someone put me out of this storm..!!??

But no one See’s or hears me..

…………………………………………………………..

I wrote..1981., I think..

“haunted”

We are all haunted by something..

Some the past., Some of the future.

And others really can’t explain..,

nor Do the understand.

But yet., never less  they  are haunted.

The haunted are people who  need, and want

but don’t know why., and can’t have.

They have nightmares instead of dreams.,

For they can not rest..!

“Clever Devils”

Disquising  them selves as ones who love you.

But Watch out..!!!

For they will cause you much much pain..!!

Those Clever Devils”  

They have  lots of charm..,  charming you..

As the serpent paralyzed a trembling bird.

And in time They”ll have you completely in …

their power and sin and disgrace and ruin are ..

the terrible sequence.  

 (  Clever Devils are men some of us love )

“A sore”

Can a human be  a sore.>??

Yes..!! I do believe..

Painful when touched..( like me )

So we keep others at a distance..!

Don’t come to close..!! For I might like it.

Can A human be just a sore..??

Because of the past..?? I asked..

causing pain and not knowing why..??

Tender, Distressed., grieved, distressed.,

And only injured and bruised inside and out.

Yes..For I am a sore.., and no one likes a sore.

 I wrote and wrote at times, it helped me not to feel so sad and seem to heal..

and easy the pain a lot..For my pen does not laugh or tell me I like pain. As people  do.

My pen just writes as I tell it to write….Am not good and not not spell..And  for I had to work and not go to school much. But writing… was all I had sometimes..

Its said., “that commit they works unto the lord and thy thoughts shall be established..prov.16;3

And in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct they paths..

Once in my life., This friend came to see me and I asked to go to church with her. And it just so happens that she went to my family’s church and one of my family was dying..He song a song and came to me and said., I asked God to send you  so I could see you before I died and you are here..!! Because God told me you have a gift to heal  others and he loves you..So..never gave up..!! Mary June.. And I cried… and he died the next week..I know its just a story to most. But I told no one about seeing the Angels, because I did not want to seem nuts and  I had told no one about a gift I was told I  have..So..how did my  family who was dieing know about the gift if their is no God..?

    You tell your story in a powerful way and you also weave in information from other sources about battering. I think your writing will reach people in battering relationships who want to be understood.

    Mary, you amazed me when we first talked, but this story shows your phenomenal will to survive. I’m so sorry your life did not befit someone as nice and compassionate as you, but your words will help many others, and in turn, help yourself.

    Mary, I’ve never read anything more intense and sad as your story, but seeing you strive to enjoy life with all your obstacles, makes me want to do better for my life. Thank you for sharing this painfulness. You are, in every sense of the word, heroic.

    Mary, Continue to be strong. You have been through alot in your life and you don\’t use it as a crutch. You use it to help yourself and others. Let God have control and he will guide you down the right path. What is coming from your heart is what stands out. Thank you for being concerned enough about others to try to prevent them from having to go through the same or similiar ordeal. These situations can damage a person for life, but you refuse to let it damage you. Continue on your journey to help others.

    you seem to have great courage. Its nice to read that God gets us though so much. I will be praying for you and your kids.

    Mary, my husband abused me for many years and I never tried to get him in trouble. Because I was to frighten. Nor did I tried to lieve him. For fear of him killing us.And I was so glad when he died. For I finally had the peace I wanted for so long. So I know what you was talking about when you ran away and stayed in the little house.With no bathroom and no running water. You said you had peace… and that was all that mattered. Its nice to reads that you tried to get away and did get away. I wish you the best. And I’ll be praying for you and I really feel that you will find happiness. For God is with you. And he’s pulled you though a lot.

    I was in foster homes and was raped and abused to. So..I feel for your kids and am very sorry.They say that foster homes are good., but I do not think so. I., like your kids still have nightmarss from being in foster homes. Its like they punish the kids. They say they are helpiung the kids, but I think its just a job to the welfair people. And it really hurts the kids self- esteem.I know..
