My old body – Sue Lobo

My old body is now telling me, it can´t take any more,

It´s saying very clearly, “It´s merely nature´s cruel law,”

In its greying, & groaning, I hark it´s ageing grumbling,

Within it´s creasing & creaking, lies it´s aching crumbling.

It says, “Give me tea & slippers, not oysters & champagne,

Forget expensive perfumes, just give me balsm for the pain,

Don´t give me evening soirèes, I have a much better choice,

Cocoa by the fire-side, now I hope you´ve heard my voice.”

My old body now wants comfort, & not the golden crown,

Merely flannelette pijamas, & not stiffened silken gown,

Please leave my old body be, in tranquility, & in peace,

Every little cell of it, every wrinkle, line, & tiny crease.

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 ..
