Sometimes I feel empty
And so full I could explode
I often wonder why things happen
And I feel so small
Like I am melting into the earth
I am a caged bird that has lost its will to sing
The world spins about my feet
And I am the mud puddle queen
The pain I have felt has scarred my soul
What kind of karmic lesson is this?
To be a daddy’s girl with no father but a pedophile instead
I need to have my feet planted somewhere
I need roots
I need branches
All touches intermingle with the ones my abusers have given me
The night, sleep has never been restful
I have a heart
They never did
My thoughts often spin so fast I can not grasp them
The whirlwind in my mind
The faces of me
The things I had to do to survive
The breaking the fractioning of Danielle
There is a safe place deep inside my head
A valley with mountains to the west
A lone tree surrounded by tall grasses and wildflowers
Children are laughing
