Fears of a...

Trophy Child

I see you
with the tears
in your eyes
because your mother
makes you cry.

I see her hit you
when others
are not around.
All because
of her selfish conceit.

Your mother values
you for your looks
and for the attention
she seeks from others.
Not for your own self-worth.

Baby-child
you are worth
so much more
than you know.
Believe it!   

Others have worried
about you
and shared their concerns
but your father won't believe
his wife would treat you so.

Because you are her trophy child
and she likes to show you off.
Not because of your intelligence
but because of your looks.
The only thing that matters to her.

An evil heart will show itself
maybe too late
or just in time to give you time
to adjust to being a healthy child
once more.

Sometimes in life an evil heart presents itself in the guise of a parent.  We all know there are abusers in every shape and color out there.  Who keeps track of the wrongs done to children?  I think an evil person will get what's coming to them.  It usually does.  Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Anne of Green Gables

Everyone was young once, some younger than others.  Remember being that young?  So fanciful and carefree?  Life is so busy these days.  We lead our fast-paced busy lives and wonder where all the time went to.  Life needs to slow down.  Slow down like we're living in the country...  Where did the time go?

Bullying:  Bully No More

I was listening to this guy's experiences as a kid in the locker room.  The fact that his coach knew and didn't do anything about it is atrocious.  What is wrong with people?  Who knows the evil that lurks in men's hearts.  There are children that commit suicide because of bullying.  Be courageous and stand up for someone who can't.
