Sworn Secrets

Little girl blue,

She was all alone

Plenty of people around

But removed from her home

She didn't know a soul

just the bruises on her arm

her little life had a gaping hole

she walked into a new nightmare all along

they were going to protect her

the police had sworn

but nobody would know

all to afraid to blow the horn

Author's Note

i was adopted when I just under two years old...removed from a bad home and placed into a toxic place..the people were well respected therefor no one in the congregation would step forward, just watch...

I'm so sorry to hear about your bad experience. I adopted my two children; they are grown now and I'm raising my grandson who is now 13. His dad and mom weren't able to care for him and his sister. The parents are divorced now and my granddaughter, who lived with me as well until a year ago, has rejoined her mom who is doing well. My son has mental problems and lives with his sister and her husband. I'm glad I can be there for my grandson. May you find healing from what you've been through. On a side note, it's sad your church believed in your new parents and didn't rescue you. Religion sometimes harms. I used to be a conservative Christian; I have evolved into a "liberal" and can see ways that churches have harmed.

Hellos, Dear, KalmeChaos,
that's harsh, I can't imagine abuse.
That must be hard. Especially, for the last morstea you menitoned, (line)
Thank you for sharing, :(
