ABUSED

   I want to know about what happened to me, so I can "grow-up" inside and TRULY be happy.    Oh how could my mind forget so completely? then eat me away inside, till it totally depletes me.    I'm so exauhsted from carrying this pain, I've got to get rid of it or my life is in vain.    I feel so abandoned & confused, so used-up and worthless, all because... I was abused.    By the only grandfather I've ever known, he totally betrayed me for needs of his own.    How could he do it, be so evil and cruel? Then he'd push and shame me to obey "his" rules.    And now as I struggle to survive and heal, my family has decided to keep thier lips sealed.    Let's avoid and deny it whatever she finds for the sake of us "Aul" we'll leave her behind.    At times I think they'd like me to sink in despair, not to survive this or become more aware.    But I must go on, I must fight to endure, cause by healing from this I'm really quite sure...    That my life will be meaningful, peaceful, and free, at least more than I ever thought it would be.    So I'll continue to face the grief and the pain, with an undying hope my "true" self I will gain.    I'll look to "The Father" for strength and peace, praying for the day when this nightmare will cease.
