Pigeon Toed

For Gemma

Pigeon Toed

A little girl shouts her

Silent screams of agony and terror

The world dashes to treat her symptoms

Mindlessly

They suffocate her dreams.

Thanksgiving For The Child Within

At any given point in my healing journey I can be perceived as having this or that insecurity. The journey I am on is incredibly difficult. No one should have to be on it. Not even my God can relate to it from his humanity. Of course in His divinity He knows all how I have suffered. Now as I acknowledge and fully absorb the truth, my inner self and ego -- the very me of me – are being gradually restored to the wholeness they were meant to be -- whole and intact. 

The innocent inner child before he was abused is flowering into adulthood rather than remaining hidden under a veil of symptoms which many identify and relate to as if this veil were who I am. I guess to them the veil is the essence rather than the cover. I will not be related to in that manner regardless of the cost. The veil itself is an undeserved consequence of the abuse as are the people who have related to the veil, as if it were real, perpetrating their own cycle of abuse that is not felt by the veil but passes through to the healing person underneath. Those who are not patient with my process are not worthy of friendship.  I am healing from hideous evil perpetrated on a Child’s core being -- the very me of me.  Who then loves me if they do not understand and support me?
