Confession
What do you bring to the confessional? Wasted hours; a kind thing undone, and another, and another; or some singular crime, a thought or deed that left a wound, some innocent bereft of confidence and cheer? Have you taken what was not yours to keep; ...
Been to an Emergency Room lately?

I really enjoyed reading your blog. Quite entertaining.
Sharon,
You write amazing poetry. It is realistic, haunting. You beautifully capture the angst of sexual abuse...Your poems are beautiful, with exquisite metaphors, poignant, heart-breaking, infuriating, sad, wistful, honest, real, in essence, leaving my heart breaking as I exit the pages, yet touched by truth, "telling," dignity, reclaiming one's own body, soul, heart, and spirit for its personhood, value, sweetness, innocence, and worth despite how much sickness, loss, pain, rejection, or evil have perpetrated, harmed, defiled, devastated, demeaned, or discarded.
Such a job well-done, indeed not just a "job" but a work-of-art--and a sacrifice-of-heart. Thank you. And thank you for sharing.
May God bless you,
Angie
