Poetic Justice

The journey to healing for child abuse survivors is long, painful and often very frustrating My own journey continues and thankfully I have a companion along the way, the only other person who can understand our particular struggle because she was there too We won a major legal battle this week thanks to her courage in standing up to our abusers but the war goes on It can sometimes feel that no one is listening and I would like to share with you this poem written by my travelling companion as it sums up how we both feel at this moment in time Poetic Justice. Can you hear me? Is anybody there? I’m blue in the face but you don’t care about me. The truth matters, that’s all I’ve said. Yet no-one’s listening; it’s all in my head, so I’m told. ‘I’ve never been better’, the one lie I’ve uttered. I’m coated in clichés and my mind is cluttered up with facts. Protecting the innocents took over my life. It’s my turn now and you’ve twisted that knife for too long. I witnessed your power being whittled away when I talked about you in court that day, at full volume. Can you hear me now? I know you’re there, red in the face but I don’t care about you. © Copyright 2009. Reproduced with the permission of the author. All rights reserved.
