Let Them

let them argue

let them fight

let them think

they are right

let them gossip

let them rage

let them build

themselves a cage

let them judge

let them talk

let them walk

the way they walk

let them laugh

behind your back

they cannot push you

from your track

let them steal

each other’s joy

let them silence

virtue’s voice

let them wrestle

for the throne

let them pick flesh

from their bones

but of all

you let them do

do not let them

alter you

keep your focus

on the sky

and all the beauty

you pass by

stay within

your well-built walls

and answer only

worthy calls

let them lie

if they must

it’s yourself

you need to trust.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
