Seeing, Listening; Feeling and Forgiving…
Through the eyes of a child
I see you.
I hear your voice.
“You’ll never be happy being you.”
“You must change, otherwise there will be nothing but misery in your future.”
“It’s the worst thing you can be.”
“This is God’s punishment.”
You never saw me. You never loved me.
But you can’t hurt me now.
There are no longer tears for what you said. You once held the power, but I’ve taken it away. I’m no longer invisible. I finally came out from under your shadow.
I escaped. I never thought I would.
Perhaps someday, perhaps when looking back, I’ll be able to understand.
Maybe you didn’t know you were being so cruel.
Did you know you were being so cruel?
Perhaps you heard voices. Perhaps those voices hurt you too?
I forgive you
And I am free…

Linda-
Thank you so much for reading!!!
It’s amazing that you escaped and succeeded in the big way that you have with that kind of rejection and negativity.
It’s amazing the power one person can have over another…but they can only have it IF you give it to them.
Good for you for breaking free and for writing about it…Its very inspiring?

Powerful words! Children internalize words and deeds to a degree that adults forget (from their own childhoods). Breaking free of the constraints placed on you as a child must feel uplifting in a way no one else can imagine! Congratulations!
I enjoy your postings! 🙂

The wide-eyed wonderment of a child is so beautiful. Every child deserves a great childhood to explore and celebrate their authentic self. Our words matter….
Thank you so much for reading and adding your own voice to Farm Stories!!! Appreciate so much!!!
