Child Abuse Story From Paul

Thunder, Lightning and Rain 
On so many sunny days of my youth,
you took the sun away,
If only the rest of the family
knew the truth,
that you made the Thunder and Lightning
on those sunny dark days.

Your thunder roared throughout our home,
you made me feel scared and all alone,
The thunder was felt from ceiling to floor,
Even the neighbors heard it
from behind our closed doors.

Lightning was the one I was fearing
and shaking from the most,
waiting for the lightning
to strike
while I was tied to the post.

The pain that your lightning caused me
was UN called for,
What were you thinking,
while I was laying in so much pain on the floor,
The thunder and lightning brought the rain to my face,
while I laid there in so much pain and disgrace.

Your thunder and lightning
has long been gone from my memory,
but my soul can't forget
the pain
of your thunder and lightning.

You caused my dreams
to haunt me,
The rains still fall to this day,
I wonder,
will it ever go away?

For my sister Nancy who is still alive, and for my sisters Jane and Janet (the twins) who have past away. This is about our so-called mother.
