Inspired by the book I just finished reading –
"Scarred" A true story detailing the sexual
abuse by her father & the self harm caused by it.
The quote in the 1st para, stanza 3 is from the book.

~L.~


Perverted Fatherly Love.



Vibrations of quiet sobs in my throat
body rocked with an over-spill of emotions,
careening towards this car wreak of you
sailing off non-supportive rails into drowning oceans.

Cracking bones of guilt-ridden pain
cause leaking wrists draining blood,
a shattered, irrepairable heart
forever scarred by your perverted love.

"BAD BLOOD IN ME" must be purged out
by the razor, "My Friend", so comforting and sharp,
"DAD, WHY did ME you have to HURT?" "IT'S YOUR FAULT!"
but to let go of this self-mutilating self-blame I just can't.

We actually had two girls that were teenagers stay with us that cut their wrists several times and just cut themselves. One even overdosed in our care while she was just going for a walk, it is tragic I know. We got her in time. I had a father that was perverted and would attack us when we weren't even teenagers, I know what's it's like myself, although no physical harm came to me but the potential was there and it does do serious damage to the area of trust. I have come through alot of emotional trauma.
