Damaged Goods
24 February, 2007

AS a kid damaged and troubled.
As a grown-up good and at peace.

A few issues

Trust
Intimacy
All men

Grabbing tissues when seeing a child being hurt.

Not only does abuse hurt children.
It turns an adult into Damaged Goods,who have to
Work hard to overcome,
Who you chose to harm.

Thanks for sharing Barb. You can't really understand a person unless you know where they came from.

It only took me 5 years of being on here to tell how I am. I must admit it feels better not having to watch what write. thanks for the kindness.

Now I Understand.......

I too wish to thank you for sharing such a personal work with us. However, I would say also, take heart child, for I would call no one damaged, who from such beauty and wisdom flows. With words such as yours that have the ability to comfort and heal others, well, that is about as close to perfect as one may hope to get. Wonderful Barb, please keep writing, you are a great inspiration to others.
