Have You Ever?

Roberto Sardelli 1 on Oct 23, 2009

A poem of question of not having a voice
(Please be honest)

Have you ever?

In honesty,

Had no voice,

Where you could not,

Even say “no”,

Even say “STOP”,

To your abusers,

Have you ever?

In honesty,

Had no voice,

Where you could not,

Even say “I love you mom and dad”,

Even say “thank you mom and dad”,

Have you ever?

In honesty,

Had no voice,

Like I,

For seven years,

To have gone through,

Humiliation.

Painful and sad but well done. I am looking forward to reading more. I have been spending more time lately reading and supporting other Triond users, and I am enjoying it immensely. Have a great day.

sad for you but I’ve experienced some parts of these too.

I feel you pain, it’s good you are able to talk and write about. Don\’t stop.
