A poem of pain held within.

 The pain,

The trauma,

The nightmares,

I blame myself,

Not having a voice,

To say “stop”,

They abused me,

Humiliated me,

Had a voice,

It was I that swallowed a pin,

At the age of three months,

To this day,

It is my entire fault,

For I was unable to say,

“STOP”.

    I can sense the pain in this poem.

    The worst of all pains is the pain of a broken heart and the worst of all broken hearts is that of a helpless child. Robert you have been able to put that brokenness on paper to be a witness of the cruelties of mankind. Blessings to you my friend, the cruelty suffered lives on this page. It’s never the fault of a child, God help them all to see this truth.
