She ran and she ran
From the forest
Being chased and harrassed
Screamed at, the fox getting closer
The pounding of her heart
Not knowing what was coming
The darkness unable to control
The panting of its breath
The screaming in her mind
The high pitched squeal of the wind
The darkness, the darkness
Fear, Fear, Fear
Screaming beyond imagining
-- He declared to me -- fullstop
Alice in Wonderland
Was always something I enjoyed
As I sit there and make pictures
Remembering the fear
But slowly painting butterflies
Looking at a spider and seeing
The wind blow the web
Wondering, why I want to return to the
Forest.....
A blog exploring recovering from childhood sexual abuse
Take the journey with me.....

Her Fathers Legacy
the girl huddled next to her school desk, covering her work quickly
uses the eraser three times, not getting it down, not understanding
--he will be there tonight -- I know you don't want to hear
write a story about menace she thought -- her task not healthy
it was hard to describe her life, her best friend not knowing
-- the fear will make you sick -- Quick turn away, leave the little girl alone
her mum not understanding, the sister she must protect, silent
hiding, waiting, running away, she huddled closer to her pen
-- trapped with him, his face will distort your memories -- Am I making you uncomfortable?
erasing more and more lines, it was the fear that got to her
but she must be strong, keep him away, while writing slowly about nothing
-- there is no escape, even if you try -- You cannot hear this, you say
and with the pen, she stopped, emotionless -- her pen down, shoulders hunched
she had nothing to write about, but rainbows and dancing in the sun
-- no one will believe you, to run you will just be returned - Well just stop reading

the menace had been that good, that precise
that even a little girl felt trapped -- when writing alone
he scared her to a point where it was easier to forget
and erase the page
the menace that is at every turn,
and leaves her chasing butterflies, in the fields

A Circle before Jail
Writing about the fairy circle is hard, she thought
It was an old tradition, passed down and down -- don't you have one?
-- a water tradition?
She would stand in the middle of her room
All painted in yellow, wearing a pretty dress, pigtales
-- perhaps a special saying?
Taking the dust from the bottle -- purple to be precise
May, I excuse you sir -- it had to be purple
-- special teddy bear -- am I reminding you?
She disappeared into her world of safety, her world of delight
Doing a fairy dust circle, sprinkling her childhood memory

May, I excuse you sir -- it had to be purple
-- special teddy bear -- am I reminding you?
She disappeared into her world of safety, her world of delight
Doing a fairy dust circle, sprinkling her childhood memory
-- Is was but years later
She remembered why, why the fairy dust circle was there
It was for the monsters -- for that ugly smiling one
-- Hidden in the cupboard, dark
Her fathers smile would bring her nightmares
Screams, of weird fright, illusions of the night
-- Nightmare under the covers, dare to be spoken
The circling fan, that made noises, praying
The creaks, squeals and whistles -- as she listened to his footsteps
-- Noises that go bump in the night, it was real
She would sit in her circle, protected
A childs' remedy -- a childs' delight, safe in her minds eye
-- Today in her office
Sits a circle painting, slowly she smiles
And she stares at it, softly -- as they walk into the room

They Killed Barbie
She sits there
And plays with
Her little barbie doll
Undresses it
And wraps it with
Christmas paper
She looks out the window
She dances her Barbie
Doll in a ballerina style
Enjoying its' twisting
And turning
Its' head backwards
She enjoys her music
As Barbie dances
Slowly to the latest
Song from the
Radio
He sits there and
Talks to the doctors
Crying
Offering help but
None to give
The attack left her
Scarred, hurt and
Alone
The men, were never caught
Statute of limitations passed
And now years later
As he remembers her smile
Her laughter
While he sits at the
Traffic light
With a Barbie
Stuck on the bonnet
Of his car.

Who I am -- is not for your amusement
I am not your amusement child, for when you are stressed or weary of the world
I do not look sexy or cute, do not entice anything out of me, with your sexual connotations
I am but a child, sitting there watching tv
Learning about the world, all of such eight, staring out the window
Not yet grown, not understanding that there is evil out there
And evil there laying on the couch -- watching me -- waiting, planning
For when the house is empty, ready to pray on me
Decisive, practiced, many a girl before me, and many after me
So I wonder, what went through in your mind, when you decided to violate my body
When you decided, what my life should be.
Was it that you were stressed, like you told me so many years later, when I grew up
Or was it just that you were a man -- weak, useless and cruel
