our family rich with morbitities
of the mind, body and soul
wondering which fate awaits me
inviting the punishment
for perceived past misdeeds
a self-flagellation of sorts
abuse hammered in
nailed to my psyche
hard to escape, even after years
wrenching free is the only hope
I Write Her 
Terrifying.
