Be at peace with yourself.I know you are strong thank you dear friend with this sharing... God bless you..Shalom! ! ! Love♥ ♥ ♥ Meggie

you write it lighter to make it safer you rob the acts of their control over you by stealing their power to hold you emotionaly captive...I understand that. you wrote this well

A truly moving poem that manages to reveal glimmers of light amid the darkness; 'I’ve taken back that little girl / And we are starting over' being a wonderful example - but it's that final line that really hits home. A powerful and heartrending piece. S

Victim poems are tough to write, they need to show a way out of the labyrinth, I like the way you handled this by giving the reader a surviver. And it also allows for the forgiveness and not the acceptance of the act which is necessary for healing. Well done. This kind of poem is tough to write. a poet friend RH Peat

Thank you for pointing me to this Sonya- What dosen't kill us makes us stronger it seems- always be there for that little girl she will always be your strength 10

With God as our strong shield, we can overcome even our worst nightmare! Up above the clouds, the sun is always shining. Great write dear! :) hugs &kisses, Smiley

'But now it’s finally over / He never touched my little soul / I hid it under covers.' Finally, one has learned to handle a painful past through the mind to let it go and move ahead. Touching and motivating.

You handle a difficult subject with grace and courage, Sonya. Your last stanza proves just how strong and beautiful fragility can be. Exceptional. Love, SandraX

You have shown one way to handle this delicate situation. How often w wish we never have to deal with such harsh reality; but we do - we ALL do

Welcome back to the world of strength recovered! As everyone else has already said, you took a VERY hard subject and handled it well and skillfully! I felt the pain of that little girl with her 'dirty secret...' But I hope everyone who reads this poem realizes that it IS NOT HER 'DIRTY SECRET' AT ALL, BUT HIS SHAMEFUL ONE! !

Gosh, this took my breath away with it's implications and the conquering-hero sort of way you ended it. It's double genius blessed; seen through the eyes of reality and a small child at the same time. I have to applaud you for a perfect handling of such a difficult subject matter.

.... But i am so stronger..... yes sonya, strength is dealing with ones inner self n not with the outer world... very bold poem of poets true courage n bravery, dear....god bless! ! !
