she stuck band-aids where
the hurt was;
no one could see them
and no one knew...
it hurt to rip them off
when she needed to pee
but it hurt less than the
secret...

This is a heart rending story; one I am familiar with. I hope the little one got help.

Hugs to you dear poetess for being able to share a secret and alleviate the brutality and bestiality of the burden that burgeoned like a balloon that had to pop so that it may disperse in time and space...

what a disguise. this was one of those leg-crossing momemts for me, but, well, it had a great affect on me.
my hugs sent through cyberspace. I hope you do well here. Cheers.

Hi hun
I just wanted to say how honored i am to get a shiny gold trophy for what was such a pitiful secret - there were so many i could have shared and this one was the one that wrote itself somehow.
Are you sure you don't want to switch to my side of the pennines here in dark satanic yorkkshire - gilly would understand - although being an honorary manc is ok too lol!
thanks again
