[hometext] => Treading on the dark side again.
[bodytext] => The Mark Of The Beast I learned, my father, what I expected least; that within you there was a beast, a monster who came, light or dark, and left on me his dreadful mark. I was so young, I was just a child, I used to have fun, I used to be wild. But when you released the beast on me I got lost in myself with nowhere to flee. I no longer played with my friends like before, I felt too ashamed now that I was your whore, even though I didn’t know what it meant I knew that my youth had been twisted and spent. The shame and the horror took over my mind, I trusted no one, even those who were kind. I no longer felt I could deal with the strife and while just a teen I tried ending my life. I rejected a girl, who once was my friend, because I didn’t feel worthy of her by then, she had taken me home for her mom to heal and showed me sometimes that love can be real. That act of kindness had given me hope, and also had given me strength to cope. I wish that I could remember her name so she could know that it wasn’t in vain. I still had to fight like hell through each day, coming to blows with the beast all the way. But because of a friend who helped me to see I knew there was good in the world just for me. I finally got the help I would need to get me past your terrible deeds. My kids are grown and I’m proud to say they only knew love every step of the way. The mark of the beast has tainted my soul, and because of your lust I will never be whole. So even though I’ve fought and won, the mark of the beast will never be gone.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
