Poetry: A Message to the Martyr

by Corinna Craddock

Created on: June 25, 2009

Familiar Martyrs

Suffering hardship means having faith

Persecution suffer-ers

That only hurt for hurting's sake

Lost all faith in their mothers

Trying to caretake suicide

Stretches child boundaries

And creates baggage hard to hide

When disclosure's a disease

For children let down by safety

Caring helps anxiety

And when your help is not wanted

Then self esteem starts bleeding

Accepting sex when wanting love

Needing a man to parent

Fooled into repeating schemas

Familiar found for martyrs
