Child Abuse

Warning! This may be offensive to some...it`s a true poem.I was a victim of child abuse. !
"My Mommy"
My mommy loves me
my mommy loves me she tells me all the time
She said she does
But I remember the way it was
You gave me a name because you thought I was leaving
Then I stayed and there was no
grave with my name on it saying Steven
While you were waving bye bye
The Doctor said I would not die
You hated me and then you started grieving
You kicked me around and then knocked me down
And then you tried to loose me in the middle of town
Then you said I was bad and it made me sad
so I walked around with a frown
She said go and play or just go away
So I ran out the door and down the stairs
And thought to myself nobody cares
Then one day when I was two
I don`t know what came over you
When you smashed my head onto the floor
And said you didn`t want me around anymore
Someone came to save me or
I would be a dead little baby
My Mommy loves me she tells me all the time
My Mommy loves me I tell her i`m doing fine But I remember a nother time
When she said she didn`t want to give birth
Didn`t really want to put me on the Earth
She yelled at me and said I was a curse
She thought back remembering the nurse
The one who held and treated me as her own
She really loved me and wanted to take me home
Then my Mommy said you make me so mad
People used to ask me Steven why are you sad And that really made me mad
You did things to me all trough my life
All you did was give me pain and strife
Sometimes I wanted to end my life
I never understood you and my dad
The one you married the one I never had
You were mad when he left you
And you took it out on me
But I will forgive you because that`s the thing to do
And I will say I love you MOMMy I really do
Because I wrote this poem just for you
My Mommy loves me she tells me all the time

I totally believe it is true...stories like this need to be told, especially on Mother's Day. It is good that you can tell yours so eloquently.

I know this post must have been very hard to do...the healing begins in the telling...

yes you are right!
only a few knew about it....and now many know!
I have healed myself many times...knowing the one who
gave birth to me has tried to kill me!
Defenseless children...they cannot fight back..and I am lucky I
made it..many do not..very many! It is a very complicated issue.
I do not want sympathy..or anyonr to feel soryy for me...i just want them to be aware...for example when my brain gets studk...
I have to kick start it!

Like a computer..I have to reboot!

Thank you for your time on my blog and your comment.

it takes a wise person to face the truth and forgiveness is a quality few share. you are very wise and corageous steven.
maybe one day maybe i'll have the courage to share, but for now i'll just give the children my strength and support.
my local children know they can come to me for anything, anytime. yes, they are mine because i care and i live in this town. they know i am one who cares.

how can i help them understand that they need not fear speaking out about their life to everyone?

That`s great ...there is a woman here in Florida ...they call her Big Mama....she helps children and teens. It is called The Team of Life....
I have people on here they put me down...they make fun of me they call me a liar they chase me around the internet telling people not to talk to me...they say I just want sympathyand I am always sad and I ..other follishness.....they are emty...their life is perfect.Most of the time they are talking about me....better for me ...I seem to be on their mind all the time....at least they think about something..and thank you..I have always been a fighter...I will die on my feet and not on my knees!
