Choose the Light
My name is Angela.
I was raped
by two men
when I was eleven years old.
It was brutal
and ugly and
I kept it hidden
from everyone
but myself
for twenty nine years.
I have finally found my voice.
I'm trying to use it!
Certain
Certain The moon follows you at night when you are a child Oh yes, it does of that I'm certain And the stuffed animals with their neon colored synthetic fur they talk to each other when you close the bedroom door Oh yes, they do of that I'm certain And you can hear the angels whisper and the jingle of sleigh bells on Christmas Eve And dandelion seeds are tiny ballet dancers twirling in the wind The fairies hide beneath the willows And if you lie in confession with your fingers crossed you won't go to hell And with the moon behind you are always safe when you are a child Oh yes, you are of that I'm certain Angela Minard2009©
