Question:

Here's another for my voracious group of poetry fiends. Please comment.?

breathless

For all my life, I've held my breath,
Waiting for the truth to sneak out.
Somewhere,somehow, I'd slip up,
And let the creature come out.

Now I've done it on my own terms,
I've slayed the demon dead.
No more wondering if and when,
I would somehow be found out.

I feel ashamed and relieved,
Both emotions at the same time.
I know I didn't cause this thing,
But it's ripped my whole heart apart.

I hope the priest who abused me,
Is enjoying his eternity in hell.
And all the others that covered it up,
I hope they enjoy their time too.

My life he tried to destroy,
But now I've taken it back.
The truth has taken his power,
And given it all back to me.

Our father who art in heaven,
how could you let this happen.
I was just an innocent boy,
My childhood stolen, I can't even grasp it.

I will try to live my life,
I'll give it all my best.
But you could have made it easier,
If in my life, the priest I'd never met.

Burn for eternity priest.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'm sorry but I really don't have any answers. It's just that the last reply p*ssed me off. The things that he said are not helpful things...this isn't something that you hide away. Hiding it makes the victim feel they are the one in the wrong.

I don't think this is a recent happening, but I still feel that you should seek counseling (not from other Priests) from someone out side of religion. But whether you do or not, writing about it is emotionally helpful.

There is a truth that by continually posting the writings on line, you establish a certain identity. If this doesn't bother you, more power to ya! But you haven't anything to be ashamed of, you haven't anything that you need to hide...

For one person to have free will, everyone has to have it. That truth messes up a lot of things in life, but to take it away would be worse. I hope that you find peace and soon.
