A YOUNG WOMAN I MET

I met a young woman she's twenty eight

Good looking a pretty face , rather attractive

Desirable I confess

We get to talking , I mainly listen

Her life not to be endive

Her father aboust her , and her sisters as well

When she was two he started on her , soon

Her started on her sisters soon after

She told a friend one of her school friends

Who soon told a teacher

Then it was school head who called her in to

The office , asked ''is it true? '' Yes it's true

All of what I told what my dad dos to me

And my sisters '' '' Yes all that and more is true ''

The head called the social services

Then they where swiftly taken to a children's home

Kind of difficult to to give the tender loving care in

A children's home all those children , so treated as kid's

Love spread very thinly around them all

After she got in to heroin , trying to kick it , now on methadon

And crack cocaine

Two children , she loves , love so much she gave them up fore adoption

That takes love a lot of love fore a mother to do make such a decision

On top of that a few years ago she was diagnose with bipolar one two

She did not know

I am no professional , so reluctantly I had to walk away

At least I listened , gave her my time , showed I genuinely cared

Did not sit in judgement of her , she's a victim as many are

Soup in the Sand
Exceedingly Sad, indeed. Wonderful write. Reminds me of the times I have met people out on a jaunt, and just listened. All I could do. Powerful write. Thank you for this, matie. And so grand you were there to lend an ear, to show someone cared. Beautiful.

Pedaphilia, incest, rape = unconditional and immediate castration. Only a horrible and permanent penalty deters horrible and permanent crimes.

We can all complain about our childhoods in one way or another...situations such as you describe bring us back down to earth, and make us thankful for our own good parents, who did the best for us that they could. (I would give anything to have my parents back here with me.) For this girl, those emotions can never be...I do not know how these victims cope.

so pathetic and heart wrecking story..How on earth those illicit are still alive? But the bravery of such a courageous lady is highly appreciable...

You've got the "genuinely caring" part down, Ken. It'll help.
