BEWILDERED BODY

Confusion permeates my cells      Mixed feelings awaiting school bells... Dreading powerful phone calls      Shocked by your torture after my falls... Fear invaded with your ongoing threats      Sickened and shamed by your awful bets... Childhood dreams I thought forever crushed      Terror kept me paralyzed and hushed... Humiliated while forcibly stripped      Overpowered as you cheerfully whipped... Bewildered by actions continuously sent      Unable to hide even in my secret tent... Surviving all these perplexing years      Reconnecting with therapeutic tears... (I am still here!)
