<p>Tunnels and Hills</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>The journey over and through is a tour of pain a road to promise and a life to live again!</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>It starts in a place where I grew in age but withered in soul. Bridging from passageways of childhood fear and vivid suffering leading to a new poetic life of freedom love and even hope.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>This life this mystery this conquest of hurt; now swallows me down like an erosion of soul. I'm covered by earth my mouth filled with dirt; I spit and I cough but I'm trapped in this hole.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>And still even more the resilience and faith of a child learns to find his way and build anew.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>Even from A tunnel to me is a hole in the ground; a tube thick with filth that holds just one sound. The sound of my heartbeat unsteady in pitch; now soaks in the ruin of destiny's ditch.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>All the way to Amazing grace the sweetest sound that does not make a noise. But though unheard it speaks to all...</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>In my lifetime I have read multiple books about abuse but never until now have I actually experienced the true feelings and emotions of being the abused.</p>
