Family Betrayal

by

Anne Strausser

In a serious frame of sickness,
when an adult abuses a child.
Stripping them of a life,
of richness, freedom, and trust,
And the dignity of family love,
the outcome is anything for the survivor but mild.
While it's not only the burden of the family.
But sometimes a stranger,
with such an evil,
to sabatoge an innocent life,
with extreme ludeness, undefiled.
And none can reach the denial,
or breakdown from such actions
as adjusting ones life, with untamed fears,
that has greatly piled.
For god sake protect your child.
Because the breakdown will be anything but mild.
If you consider years of torment,
as a comparison to your childs carefree life.
I realize that the denial will take the tone.
Where your perception could be anthing but nice.
SO please when your thing of the gift of your child.
And suddenly a frame of mind,
turns to a place of fits.
JUst don't let it cross the line,
into a rage of hits.
Because life can suddenly fall into
an unaltered mesh of bits.
Also advice wisely,
never an intimidating tone.
Because your child will be
thinking in the world they are all alone.
Just remember how fast the memories have grown.
And even in caos,
the devotion has really shown.
Never I mean never
make your family even in haste feel
the sudden stress within their bone.
And stripping the fibers of the home.
But more important,
remember to make them safe,
Because a waiting stranger,
with the timely risk,
will take the world of a childs innocence.
And leave her world in the cold abbiss.
Your love has to be the shelter,
that has a impressive mist.
Just remember it's not the power,
or lthe assault but the destrucion that really hits
