Poem ‘She dances’ ~ Lilly Hope Lucario

Ballet, dancing – was my saving grace, while enduring child sexual abuse by an old man paedophile, for several years ending at approx age 12.

She Dances ~ Lilly Hope Lucario

Childhood
In her garden
Of evil

Of gods and monsters
Evil presides

No safety
No protection
No rescue

Scared
Frightened
Silenced

Deep pain
Seared into
Her fragile soul
Unable to cope
Verbally suppressed

She dances

Expressing
Emotions
Deeply felt
Dancing talent

A gift
From God
To help her

Mind
Body
Releasing pain
Through each move

Silent, graceful
Facial expressions
Perfect
‘A delight to watch’

Outward
Pouring
Release of pain
As she moves

Transforming
Pain from evil
Into beauty
As she loses
Herself
Within the dance

Sad ballerina
Her beauty
Her passion
Her talent
So deep

Her pain
Deeper
