"Honey "! come n meet Tom
This was the day it all changed
Me ,the way I loved, my security my happiness
Just that sentence. It echoes in my head feeling like a sledge hammer
Erasing my happiness my whole childhood wiped out
I was happy then
I liked me
I loved the insects in my garden  ,I even named them"built them a den"
I loved to listen to the sound ,of the rain pelting down on my plastic sheet I'd thrown over a tree I thought it was great.  I  thought i
was the only one who invented such a thing and I was safe
But I was wrong
Tom introduced me to the adult world
I didn't belong there!!!

He introduced fear
It kept me paralysed
I scrubbed my skin till it bled
I even prayed to the fairies and god
When it was my birthday mum got her camera
Smile get nice and close to Tom
Oh that's a lovely picture she said
Inside I screamed mum it's not the real one ,!
But she never heard
I'm in a different place now
I look different too
At least my birthday wish came true
I am invisible
My next of kin is street life the homeless charity
People judge me some with pity others with disgust
I am still paralysed
It all changed that day and it's still there the sentence "honey come n meet Tom"!
Who Cares..??
