Dysmorphia
Doggerel Dave said:

Still don\'t understand anorexia properly; as an insulin dependent diabetic food is too important in the right quantities for me to find much positive in a patient\'s (I use the term advisedly because it is they in that role i have encountered them) condition, attitudes or whatever.
I\'m given to understand it is about control.......... Advice to the poem\'s subject: Find other ways to control your life - that will require effort for which you need energy...
A solid piece of work there, Cat.

Oaths
Doggerel Dave said:

Your piece describes the multi faceted nature of domestic abuse – broken understandings and promises (vows for some), early rationalization and loss of identity – long term psychological damage.
Violence, of course, may or may not be a component.
Thanks for putting it out there, Alex.

Bullseye
Doggerel Dave said:

So ?Alex? – Your name, to be addressed by? Or ‘Cat’?
I’m undecided as to whether bullying is the result of too much power or too little on the part of the bully. Education of the young in the general field of, for want of a better term, social psychology is fundamental, I believe.
Usual skilled piece.

There are those who live to push people\'s anger button. My sister\'s ex-husband is one such #*%@#*. I try to live a not in your face, non-offensive lifestyle. But guys like that test my patience. Excellent write. ; )

Pretty Penny
L. B. Mek said:

\'A lamb to their slaughter, I was once a daughter
Now a stranger to many, for a pretty penny

Pull at my string and this puppet shall sing
For this routine avoids their guillotine\'..
genuinely, this brought tears to my eyes
because in your poignant choice, to word it so light
somewhat breezy and sing-song - in tonality
you\'ve: hammered home!
just how blatantly
this vile practise, is allowed
to continue...
surely, above all else
after a century
of so-called woman\'s progression, in society
that every, political leader
doesn\'t treat this plague
as a fundamental anchoring policy
to centre their campaigns on, is a screaming
cry of the hypocritical absurdity
that is our collective: modernity...
what a write!
how harrowing, sobering and infuriatingly
penetrative: a subject/ a topic
how justly and with refined dignity
you\'ve worded your battle cry:
so heartachingly Poetic!
a privilege to read your words, dear Poet
humbly, I thank you

Another unspeakable issue which MUST be spoken about, Cat.
A skilled piece from a practiced poet - so please don\'t try to claim beginners status. 😊

I\'m immediately reminded of the Liam Neeson movie \"Taken\" . Well written. ; )

Doggerel Dave said:

I do hope that your piece is just an imaginative construction rather than based on past experience.
Either way this issue needs to be out in the open for discussion and remedy.
Can\'t tell you I enjoyed your piece but i did like it for the picture painted and delivery.
Welcome as above. Responses to comments are what make MPS work - and you\'ve got that already.

Child abuse is the most horrendous of crimes, it should never ever be happening, I just do not understand why it happens.

Welcome to MPS.

Welcome to MPS. This is a excellent write on child abuse. Not so easy to learn trust at such a young age.
