There Are So Many Tears

You know there are so many tears

I have wept and more

than often than not now days

I weep tears of joy,

relief of the removal of the anxiety,

pain and distress

of knowing that people believe me,

you can not imagine how that feels for me.

It is very hard for me

to talk in front of some one

because I can not stand it,

it is like when I stood in front of the nuns

As they said those bad words to me,

I see them there with me, that is why

I find it much easier writing it down

as no one can see me then.

I pray that someone

somewhere will whisper a prayer

to God on my behalf:

as I have lost my faith in the

Roman Catholic Church,

"Power to Abuse,"

Is the power of adults

to hurt Children remains,

I call out because of the pain I am in,

it is too great and unless you yourself

were treated the same way as me,

please do not judge me with your words
