such thoroughfare
as confession
only just so intriguing
to the individual confessor
repeated exposure supposedly gathers ground
in the basement of acceptance
working one's way up floor by failed floor
the freakish shadows of the face
reveal suspiscious fears
in almost child like expressions now
that manage to further mirror similar reflections
from those around also encouraged to share
these secrets, lies and shame
lose their power
when removed from the bitter years of hiding
and yet
quite frankly
such raw nerve embracement of the brutal truth
scared the hell out of this far removed observer's
senses
'tis so difficult truly to digest
one must admit the clearly documented good
such exchanges can do for those doing the exchanging
verses the heart cold horror and damage
done to the one who bares innoscent witness
to such critical therapies
to quote one revolutionary therapist
fear has no place to hide anymore
once GROUP takes its hold on these predators
of before.........
