Message to Sister Jane
by Susan Hunter You let me down, Memories remain, scattered, you returned from the recess of my mind to awaken the hurt.... It's like smothered fire, the smoke leaving a trail, along with the smell of betrayal...I survived, I refuse to be defeated. (Sister Jane was an indigenous nun, who abused many of us daily, that's why it hurts, one of your own that made your life a living nightmare). |
