Question: What will happen if I push submit!?
Do you know what violence is
!.!.!.!.the fear of violence!?
The cringe into a ball and
duck ones head don't
hit me please I won't
do it again won't
say it again won't
think it again won't
won't won't!.
Once it recedes, how
do you stand up again!?
How do you uncurl from
that ball of denial of self,
denial of value,
denial of worth
that hides behind the
door waiting to see if
the way is clear!.!.!.the
threat is gone!. You
who live in your safe
lives!. Your indignant advice
falls short
of the answers I seek!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is no safety
in my touch,
but my promise
not to hurt!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can only say, from one who is safer now but wears the scars of abuse, that the right thing to do is often the hardest thing to do!.
