Fragmented and broken,
not aloud to have spoken.
Bondage of trauma done,
all I wanted to do is run.
Through professional help now,
wondering if I'll heal somehow.
Desiring to become whole,
been playing out this roll.
Whats been done is a tragedy,
causing much calamity.
wanting to know what is right with me
instead of finding what is wrong you see.
Someday I won't be against the wall,
trauma done, definitely I did fall.
Truly don't want to be broken anymore,
not like I've been with my past before.
Crying out wondering why,
this is why I so often cry.
Climbing the wall of insanity,
because of all this tragedy.
Reaching up from a bottomless pit,
feeling agonizing pain, so I can't sit.
Learning that I never had a voice,
broken, hoping for freedom to rejoice.

Wonderful
Such a very powerful write. So very well expressed. Best of luck in the contest.

The emotion is really prevalent throughout the piece. If you could, though, would you put the artist's name in your a/n? I kind of wish you hadn't rhymed it--I think that the emotion would've taken on a very different tone if it had been freeform... but maybe you wanted the feeling of rhyme. Anyway, good write and thanks for entering.

Very well done, you have presented the cycle of what has happened to you and how you are overcoming this violation of your soul. Reading it you can feel your struggle and frustration of not having any help back then. To win a trophy won't be the judge of how good this one is, to see over time how it helps others will bring the gold!

Deep!!!!!
You go so deep inside your pain here Kelle!!! But I know it helps to get it out on paper!!! I also believe God is in the process of healing you and these things need to be purged out of you for God to complete his plan for your life!!! You are so open and forthcoming in this piece and that too, I believe is a healing tool as well!!! Thanks for sharing and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!!!~~~Toni~~~
