No Rabbit For Me Please

I had a little bunny honey was her name She was so cute and funny till I clubbed her in the brain So sad I had to eat her but I'm really not to blame Was the doings of my daddy and his sickly little games I had to hang my bunny in the killing tree She kicked and screamed so madly till my mind went free I cut her throat and peeled her but I wasn't really there That's the story of my bunny my lifeless skinless little hare Have you ever heard a rabbit scream? It sounds just like me

i just came from reading "charade" and "when God was sleeping". very sad and painful past. someone did try hard to destroy your childish. the last two lines in this poem are very powerful. stay strong my friend and keep penning. 7+++

Thank you so much for the kind comment...Yes, my father destroyed my childhood and with his destruction I gained the true power that comes with surviving. I left home at 14 and never looked back. Thank you again hun.
