I've taken many lives;
(in my mind)
beaten, bruised,
and shaken the souls,
until death come:
carries them cold
to the labyrinth,
of inexhaustible scourge.
Author notes
Prompt: one single thought
This is my thoughts on child abuse. The many who abuse children for the sake of their parents doing it to them. I was abuse, severly, as a child, and would never put a child in harms way cause of it. Just a thought.
