mommy
I don't want to go today,
My tummy aches, don't want to play.
I don't want to go to school,
Can't go outside I know the rule.
I'm scared to death, just play ill,
I don't care if I have to take a pill.
I never want to ever go back,
I'm too young for a heart attack.
Can't you see I can't go back,
I don't want any books to stack.
He is always touching me,
Can't you even try to see.
He's hurting me, leave me alone,
Locked in a room with no telephone.
Mommy, why won't you believe,
I'm your little boy, I'm little Steve.
I can't go back, it hurts too much,
I don't want him, I hate his touch.
Please someone, I'm just a child,
Didn't you ever wonder, I never smiled.

Everything I write about being abused is the truth, it really happened. All of it has been documented.

It says a lot about the writing you do, and explains a lot of reasons behind the dark side. Just try to see the bright side now that it is over. Everyone is not out to hurt you, and you need to trust someone. You have a new wife to lean on, who can help you through troubled times. That's what marriage is all about, sharing and helping. Two people being as one...
Live large.

sometimes i catch a glimpse of you from the past and it catches my heart and shoves it up into my throat. there is no way that i could look at a child and not see that there is SOMETHING HORRIBLY WRONG when there is a criminal act of such magnitude being done to them...God, steve you relly hit home with the last line...once in grade school this chick had a birthday party and invited everyone in the class but me. I found this out after it was over, and when i asked why I was left out, the girls said it was because i was always so sad!!now isn't that an obvious sign that something is really really wrong?Why wouldn't someone help when i was such an innocent and loving child, not a trouble maker at all, i never got less than a b in classes and no one had to keep their eye on me because i literally did nothing bad...except that when i did the things that i knew WERE bad because the person who was supposed to be taking care of me told me to, i was praised by him and he was right about how people would treat me if they knew.So bad and good and right and wrong and love and hate became this cluster of chaotic emotion in my life then became a singular emotion of their own. No one else could ever understand what that feeling is like unless they have had the unique combination of pain, pleasure, humiliation,shame secretiveness, punishment and futile frustrating helplessness of being that sad child who has no one that is aware or decent enough to rescue them.I KNOW that you know it.
Sorry for rambling. This one got to my guts on a deeply disturbing level. But still, thank you, steve , for the courage you have to stand up and let it be known that there was and is a world of horror that gets swept under the rug.

I truly do understand your pain and I am so sorry you had to go through this. May the rest of your life be hurt free. God Bless you Honey. You are a survivor. Many children do not make it through child hood b/c of being abused you did. Be proud of who you are.

Helpless. Frightened. Abandoned.
Heartwrenching.
(and the Mama Bear in me has now been awakened from her peaceful slumber and now she's PIZZED!

it makes one realize that children should be trained 2 let them know when they are being hurt,without fear of being made 2 feel that everything was their fault! i.i.them refers 2 parents or adults they can trust!
