Wounds that can never heal

Poem for the abused, well respected is the abused who have still found the strength too strive and to grow on the world. Feedback is appreciated thank you.

Healing of the wounds seem they will never exist.
Sliced and beated for there will forever be damage.

Hope and faith have been reached limitless.
Nevertheless the scar representing abuse of a savage.

Set free from the world of dark despair,
Buried deep within to never reach light again.

For the abused ones it was never fair,
To receive what you did was wrong and sickened.

Courage and strength is now the sword and shield,
Protect your heart with the armor of steal.

Seek no revenge to the guilty of many actions,
They will be judged for judgement day is real.

Power is only a temporary status of a scenario,
Physical pain is a reminder to strive.

Love all without judgement of specifics,
You control habits of a lifestyle that is destiny of life.

Wow- deep. Very true and out-spoken words you offered. I truly have no more words for this poem besides the fact that it needs to be heard. -Kay

I volunteered in a battered woman's shelter and your words hit home with me. Yes, God will judge eventually, but saving yourself should be important now. Valentine
