Autobiography
By LV LaTrail
Somebody asked me what abuse looks like and I was able to describe it to them with immaculate description because I’ve been looking at it all my life

It started for me as a child when my father decided he would not learn to love his children more than he came to love his new wife

So when it came time to make a decision between us and her he did not think twice

 Abuse has made a movie of my life in which I’m consistently in the starring role it seems

I was a child actor on this set so really I grew up on the big screen, from seven to 15, and after that I was cast in the spin-off which is often times worse than what was originally seen

 And although, over the years it may seem like different movies were created, the subject never changed the only thing that changed was what the film was rated

 As a child, it was rated G for Ghost because abuse to me looked like the invisible face of a man  I recognized more from still pictures than the memories of live action could ever host. It was rated PG, for Passively Gone. Because he tucked me in bed and kissed me goodnight I mean goodbye at dusk and kissed his new wife I Do by dawn. Rated PG-13, because there was no Personal Guarantee I would see him more than 13 times by the age of 13. Now I’m left living with 13 ghosts within where the last one is the result of him being gone so I was never able to resuscitate that previous version of me….
