deeply disturbing and sad write my dear friend, there are many of us on here who love and respect you, hold your head up through the darkness for we shine a light to guide you. reach out, i am here for you if you need someone in virtual or real life just ask

incredible!
and how true that when verbally abused your sense of self often becomes so skewed. You never can really separate your own thoughts from those put into your head by the abuser. You have to slowing differentiate but you often lose yourself in the process. (I speak from experience)
I loved your write!
all of my best wishes to you,

Even a little bit of verbal abuse is too much and your poem brings out the effects of the continual abuse.
Very well expressed, makes the reader feel your words.

It always saddens me to discover that this has happened to a fellow poet and a friend. Your openess to share such times with us, shows a strength had been found, and one that will always give you peace to carry on and take a stand against it again, no matter how small, a stand just the same.
A very strong write indeed Bel, Well done.
Peace always.

Why is it that some feel the need to "inject" us with misconceptions or lies and all in between? You and I both know that it only causes confusion and pain. I love this poem. It not only holds a lot of emotion, but it is filled with you The image is truly an inspiring one.... I love this Bel, and I LOVE YOU!!!!
Kisses,
Mel
P.S. I always remind myself that a day will come, when the needle will stick the ass of the ones who stuck us!!! Love you.

All abuse begin with emotional abuse - and this poem states it in a very poignant way.. one can almost feel the pain here....especially the pain of the self.

This is a pretty dark and painful write. Very personal in nature. Something I can relate to. When one suffers from verbal abuse over a length of time our self perceptions become skewed and we take on the characteristics of the abusive words. I think this poem expresses that though very well. If you are going through something and need to chat, I am here
God Bless
