Let me tell you a story about Joanna, a little girl, who got caught up in quite an agonizing whirl. We were together in Junior K.G., when we were studying the A-B-C-D. We were just about four. Cute little uniforms, we wore. There'd be two on a desk, until we'd break for recess. Joanna was my partner in school, who suffered at the hands of someone so cruel. She'd hide behind the desk, vigorously rubbing her genitals, with no rest. This continued to happen everyday, you know. On and on with it, she would go. When I asked her what exactly she was doing, she told me something that (now in hindsight) seems so confusing! Apparently that was the secret to good health. Doing questionable things below the belt. Sure, I wanted to be healthy too. So I joined in the circus-zoo! Both of us, all through the day. Just trying our best to be healthy, all the way. Can you imagine where and how she got that information? All that was being done to her, and her situation! Most of the kids in school, throughout stayed the same, till the end of our school days, that's the time frame. But Joanna never made it to the next year. I never seen her in Senior K.G.; she just disappeared. Is this story a fiction of my imagination? Maybe I'm too ashamed to admit, so I asked you this question! Mankind, I've seen the worst. For all the wrong things, they thirst! I really don't remember discussing this at home. I think I told nobody, and let it be in my mind alone. It's always the ones we trust, body, heart and soul who crush! -RUELHA www.ruelha.com ยฉ Copyright Protected. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Hi Ruella,
great poem and good question. I had a girl in about the same grade that masterbated all day on her chair and another that climbed a pole. Everyone made fun of her and she tried to get some of us to do it to. I learned early that was not ok but I secretly did it in my room during naps and my mom would try to “catch me”. I remember praying to God saying I won’t ever do this again, like this was some kind of sin. It wasn’t talked about in my house either but I got the idea it was wrong. It would be and interesting question to find out. Maybe it was as innocent as that and they just moved.. Idk. It’s good to bring awareness to these normal adolescencent behaviors.

SMiLes i can’t Remember my Mother Really
Ever Telling a Lie.. i was not Close to my Father…
But really i can’t Remember Him telling a Lie Either…
About Half of the Women i’ve ever known have confided
in me that they Were Sexually Abused by a Close Family
Member in Childhood So it
Surely may Be More
Prevalent than
Actually Studied…
Growing Up With a Parent
That is Trust Worthy in every
Way Brings So Much More Faith
And Love About the World Whole
Other Folks Continue to Suffer the
Rest of their Life and Sadly The Cycle
Repeats itself in Generations to come
Until Somehow Someway Someone Breaks
The Vicious Life Cycle Again…That Takes a Lot
of Support and Understanding and with issues like
BorderLine Personality Disorder Some Clinicians
Give Up As they Just can’t Figure Out a Way to Help…
I’ve heard some really
Horrible Stories too
Horrible to repeat
Here Humans
Without Empathy
Tend to Create Nightmares
Not Imaginable Before and then
There Are Others Creating Beyond
Rainbow Color Dream’s Fruition
In More to See… How Fortunate
Those Coming From Rainbow places..
NoW… Smiles Until i was about
18.. i was mostly in
The Dark about
‘Interactions
Like that’..
The Colors of Closeness
in Just Hot Chocolate Shared
in the Stadium of A Fall Night
in the Stands Sitting Close at A Football
Game.. was so much more colorful and Lasting
Then than A Grinding ‘Bootie Dance’ Forced upon
one in a Dance Hall Now… Smiles.. About the 70’s
Were the End of any Potential for such Innocence in
the United States…
Smiles.. i’m Glad
i learned so many
Colors of Love First
So Much Deeper than Skin Deep….
The Other Colors And Shades of Grey Serve a Purpose
But the Deepest Colors of Love Last practically forever now..:)

I’m compelled to pray for Joanna -that HIS pure love would embrace her to make HIMSELF known to her… Love your compassionate heart Ruelha!!… So many children have experienced abuse and need a voice to lift them up to our Great GOD and FATHER who comforts and brought into the loving care of the Good Shepherd who restores souls…
