5 years

She fingers the scars
on her legs
as she try's to erase
what the world gave away
and the pain
that resides deep inside
kills away
all the love
that was saved
by the need to succeed-
so the pride of her father and mother
can impart
what she needs
to believe
in the voice
that reminds her
she’s starving for thinness
which suffers forgiveness
for the soul
passed away
years ago
from the murder
of childhood
innocence
counting on His grace
to save
what was left of her
virtue but
disgrace from her blade
cut valleys on her legs
and today
she traces those
memories
tenderly
honoring
her strength
from mending the heartache
that this little girl
survived…

whoa you updated your blog......horaay. I am excited. I added you to our blog. I know what you mean about keeping in touch. I am just plain lazy. But I really like knowing what's going on in your life. We don't hang out with anyone, really were hermits. We just hang out with eachother. Don't worry, you're a great friend.
