The Taking Of Her Smiles... Comments

This poem made me cry. As a victim of sexual abuse as a child I know exactly how this feels. You captured the feelings perfectly. No matter how hard I try to put the past behind me (scrub off) it will always remain until I see Jesus! But it made me who I am, and i am stronger. I have forgiven those who wronged me in this way. I am able to help others because of it! Thank you for writing on this topic.

She is stalked innocently. Childhood dream comes very interestingly. Bud sadness on her face makes us puzzle but wonderful imagery makes this poem very interesting. In life or death abuse is so painful. A thought provoking poem! ...10

I could feel that child's terrible pain and destruction of her carefree childhood because of the shocking abuse that was inflicted on her by an evil, twisted monster. Thank you for writing about a subject that was kept hidden years ago because society made the victim feel ashamed or she would not be believed. Brilliant write!
