Ramifications



I implore you to listen if these lines should apply. Why? Because I’m giving you the opportunity to save your life. Even after someone with the same as what’s going through your brain lavishly destroying mine.

Both unbelievable and very real; I’ll strike you a deal. no emotions attached, no attacks, Because I’m clinically detached  yet still appalled for what I’ve been called to do. I’m supposed to calm the beast inside YOU before it eats you alive. That one who SCREAMED to stop reading and just close your eyes. Just give it a try then simply deny.

I was told I am here to deliver a message that there is hope for even you!

IT’S TRUE
Through my tears and by facing my fears; THATS EXACTLY WHAT I’LL. As Cliché  as it is may be to say even the ultimate sin can still be washed away.

Now, Don’t be so quick to through a pun as this comes from one betrayed in ways so deep most imaginations couldn’t seep. For over a decade corresponding a lifetime of no sleep. So now you listen as it’s the least you can do. I’ve left all the emotions out. No doubt, that’s just for you. What lives with these scars by far can only be carried with strength by few.
What feels almost worse to admit and say

WAKE UP!!!

HEY!!! I was put on this earth for yo so you can learn the remefecations of what your craving to do. Taboo... you thrive because most deny in their hearts too resulting in no education, it’s true. Power is knowelegde and something tells me your behavior was learned and you were never taught to discern. Something deep inside tells me I suffered to bring education for the future generation-

Time for this Devine intervention, the hardest of all life’s lessons. Not to sound like a freak but something told me to speak that the Holy Ghost has a message for you and you can roll your eyes but on everything these words are true. God says I will save more than just a few. In doing so we are also saving you. We as in me and you. The one who’s been hurt and the one who caused the abuse. We meaning he will also save you! Now let it be known you can not unread these lines. So here is the stipulation. Ask forgiveness it doesn’t have to be a public screen but for what you’ve done you better drop to your knees and this is between you and me! You’ve tortured my children so you listen close, I’ll wash away your filth but you keep yourself away because your tainted, there not and just how that stays until the day that feeling of filth washes away. If that urge comes back keep distance don’t you ever again enslave another within. The damage you caused will take years amungst years to never fully demnify, this is not a lie. You will physically change this child in ways you never could have known that will alter the structure of the adult to be grown. Now you have been shown so let it be known you have been warned for if you read these lines and ever hurt another child of mine not only will you spend eternity in fire but I will personally supply the barbed wire. The last thing any of our hearts desire and again you will be saved as long as you repent and never make a mother or another child your slave now go and behave and your loved, even you, yes always.

About this poem

I have recently been diagnosed with bitemporal epilepsy. Turns out I have had this condition since I was born. I am dealing with a number of medical issues that I recently found out make me nothing more than a statistic for what happens years after a human body undergoes sexual abuse as a child. I have always been very gifted when it comes to my poetry I have been compared to Dr. Seuss by a few different random strangers and I find that to be the biggest compliment of all. I am now on a mission to raise awareness to not only the aftermath of this type of abuse but also I plan to use my poetry to make my life story somebody else’s survival guide. I have recently found out a lot of my best poems are written during seizures and that’s why I can’t remember writing them. This one below is by farthest one of the best I have ever written. It is my hopes to have this poem shared around the world.

I am 32 as of two months ago I was diagnosed with my temporal epilepsy driven from a mutation in my brain from birth. In addition I learned that I shared this mutation and disease with my little girl who is now four years old and has been diagnosed with seizure activity from the time she was one and a half. I have calcific neuropathy, PCOS, PTSD, and a handful of other diseases. To my shock, I learned I am a walking statistic of the aftermath to sexual assault on a child. This knowledge has been hard to swallow and even more difficult to share as I come from a family who would like to take these horrible memories and wish them away that they never happened. This makes healing significantly harder. I decided that I am going to embark on this journey even if I do it alone because there are so many out there who unfortunately are also walking statistics without even knowing it. Everything in my been cringed when I learned the physical ramifications a tie to this type of abuse and how long it takes for them to come to light . After decades of being adamantly dismissed on a medical standpoint I read medical records that indicated my disease should’ve been noted so long ago. Somehow my medical issues continue to progress on Clock because the majority of my medical notes tied to a divorced single mother and father who was/possibly still is on drugs and in alcoholic. My father had zero activity in my life from the time I was three years old yet he was mentioned in multiple medical notes. As mentioned I am on a mission to bring awareness to an area that seems to be it’s own type of taboo and it is my hopes to share this poem around the world amongst others that have to do with specific medical struggles to help other people make sense or put into words what they are going through . The most empowering thing I have ever learned is I truly am not alone in this. Even more empowering, I have what it takes to be an advocate in an area that people don’t wanna advocate for. I share hard truths, but they’re true. My poems tie to very real stories more…
