The Reject

Rejected from birth by father and mother and molested too. Told from day one that they hated you.

Father was a mad man and mother an enabler and never defended her own child from the child's monster father. He beat her and molested her, and her parents told her many times they dedicated her to Satan.

Her parents were Atheists and Satanists and were very mean and abusive and did anything and everything to shame and humiliate her.

Her parents made sure that she had no friends all the time she was growing up. Her parents turned everyone against and that included extended family and those not related.

To all f those who make fun of those who are different I have something to say to all of you. Think before you speak badly about someone. Infact don't even say anything about anyone unless you know their story.

I have been lied about all my life and also had gossip and ugly rumors spread about me and my parents helped it along.

You think you know someone??? Well think again!!! If you want to know the facts then ask the person themselves but don't just believe all the lies, gossip and rumors that you hear.

What you say about someone can either hurt or help them. If you spread lies and rumors and gossip about others just remember someday it will come full circle and you will have the same thing done to you.

What you say about someone can ruin their reputation and cause them to despair and even cause them to kill themselves.

I came close to suicide many years ago the only reason I did not was because they wanted me too and I did not want to do as they wanted. I have had people tell me why don't, you commit suicide and make us happy. My answer to that was why should I want to make you happy???!

These were people who claimed to be Christian's, but their words and actions said differently. I am sick and tired of fake Christians and fake friends they are worse than those who have no faith. I could probably find more Christians on the streets than in the churches.

If you say you are a Christian, then you had better have a heart and mind change and a change of heart

Welcome to neopoet!

I can see that you are a newbie in neopoet community.
Is quite obvious your story is a very sad one. Having such parents within you is like living in hell.

The Dangers of Gossips and Rumours:
Gossips and rumours can alienate friends, ruins reputations and relational aggression.

Poetry evokes a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience or a specific emotional response through language chosen and arranged for it's meaning, sound, and rhythm.

So, your piece is truly Prose!

Rules for writing poetry:
* Start small
* Embrace tools
* Enhance the poetic form with literary devices etc..

hello Marie!

welcome to the Neopoet family of poets. it is very nice to meet you! on a sad note, your poem of woe takes me back in time, to a terrible place... I had a mother who hated me and told me so, every time she beat me, which was often. she told everyone who would listen, that I was incorrigible, so she had to beat me. my parents were divorced. but I still knew a father's love. I was living with my grandmother while mom got her degree in nursing, and gram really hated me. she is the one who abused me in the name of "God" and Christianity. sometimes, I wished to die.
leave it to say that I am not a "Christian now!"

these words are so true:

What you say about someone can ruin their reputation and cause them to despair and even cause them to kill themselves.

those words and deeds caused me to be alone and without a family!
thanks for this post. it makes me appreciate all the more what I have now...

*hugs, Cat
