This work was so strong, I was almost in the room watching you cry over such painful memories.
I think it sometimes helps to put these things into verse, and I hope your poem did so.
I'll await your next poem and look forward to reading it! Best Wishes, Ray

Abuse is something, I wish this world never knew. It's so sad when a child is abused, and they have to grow with all these physical and emotional scars. It breaks my heart, powerful words.
Take care

Very strong and emotional 5/5

Amanda, this really made me sad, for this is something I can kind of relate to, your children must be proud of you and so should you be. :) Good write.

Excelent, wow very strong! great turnover, you have done a wonderful job in writting this!!

I had two wonderful parents ripped from my life way to soon, leaving scars of lonliness but I always knew I enjoyed love.. this stanza spoke to me more then the others but the whole poem was stellar---

No, my children will feel loved,
I will fulfill their every need.
With a caring mother and father
helping them grow as tiny seeds.

Love it, brilliant

A strong title that pulled me in.

As for the poem itself I was blown away by the feeling placed inside it. You really let the reader into poem without holding anything back. I also liked your flow.

5/5
