How could I let her so,
Break me down, and work my thoughts
Then watch her grow and grow

All the way through I thought it would end up a grand-daughter or so. Sort-of let me down. Adeline
A great poem that tells the tale with much emotion, that comes through to the reader very strongly. This had some nice flow and again was a pleasure to read. I too am a lover of rhymes. Kind regards
I fully understand this piece... a situation I've been in myself.
; And how she couldn't justify She never took the blame twas always someone else's fault Excuses, always lame' i like this part the most nicely done and sounds like have an intristing life

Very well written and meaningful to those who have been abused. The flow was good as was the rhyming. I enjoyed the read. Lynn
It's a great well written poem, and it's great when we rise our heads up again, , keep it up vanessa, regards, Faith..
This is a real poem and excellently written. The idea flows and the phases of the 'story' is correctly sequenced, though the theme is sad it is effectively conveyed. I say you do write like an artist! 10+++++++! ! ! ! ! ! !
My female Abuser sends the right message. Nice poem.10++
And as I follow along life's path Carrying lessons I have learned I hopes she carries a few herself to stop more fingers being burned realistic and metaphor type of sweet poem with meaningful thought... its essay but I can see the depth and hidden meanings of it, some how symbolic too.. great job and well writeen poem..liekd it 10/10
this is a very good and angry poem Vanessa, sometimes it's good to cleanse the soul but beware of voyers
i guess adeline doesn't know you the way i know you vanessa. BUT it could have been a granddaughter perhaps. i like it. i don't understand the wording of: And how she couldn't justify i 'love': Bombardments of infractions.....a great line! i suspect that the line: But I least can hold my head up high is meant to read But at least I can hold my head up high am i correct? or is it an english way of saying what i believe you mean? the way you wrote it sounds as though you are very unable to hold your head up high/be comfortable with yourself; i don't THINK that is what you mean. IS it? thanks for sharing. bri
