I really enjoyed reading this poem. Besides being beautifully written, it brings about the issue of how terrible child abuse really is, and inspires people to help in the prevention of this "epidemic". I feel empathy toward you for what you went through, but am glad that you realized that the violence you experienced at the hand of your father, had nothing to do with any fault of yours, but was your father's problem alone. I'm sorry that he took it out on you, but you seem to have some sort of peace now. My thoughts are with you, please continue writing.

It's very rare to find a poem that I can relate to completely, and even more rare to find one that says what I would better than I could. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.
