Great job good luck in the contest and thanks for sharing it!
-
great
this is a good write. i was disturbed to think that your dad watched you while you slept. and it was even more sickening to think that he harmed you while you were sleeping. to get cut up on the breast?!? thats sick and i hope she isn't all self-conscious about it. great write. kind of scary. but i know how it feels with the immense hate.however mine hasn't gotten to that point yet. i just STRONGLY DISLIKE my biological father because he never bothered showing up. i can also see you and i have the same talent of placing ourselves in other's shoes and expressing thier thoughts well. good job.

Thanks, although i just wish i'd never have had to even write the poem

This is so amazing, it's quie sickening what her dad did to her. I liked the the reptition of that hating even when you weren't using the word, the feeling was still there. Great poem.

Wow, really good write, I think we all have resentment towards family members at sometime in our life, but reading that, I dont think anyone could hate their parents as much as that person has, unless we have been through that same situation. Hope your friend is ok. Keep writing. xxx
