1952 THROUGH 1954 BLURRED

First attempt stopped by child protection
Not sure what offended site protection
Possibly this Irishman more pink than white
Used the Indian word for sunburned
Myself not offended by words
Call me anything you like just stand back
My early childhood was tough
I know I am not alone in this suffering
My father filled his day drinking wine
Six foot nine and abusive not a good combination
That he was inside a coward and hurt only women and children
As a child I grew up wanting to make him pay
I watched not yet a man as he hurt Mom
But it was the day I would challenge him
Like I say not yet a man I awoke from a coma
He was gone and we went into hiding
At some point I began having dreams of snakes
A lady would smile and they would come from her head
At first it was just a dream but then awake
I was taken to therapy, hypnotized to forget bad things
This is why allot of my memories of childhood are blurred
1954, a sophomore in High school I confronted him
These years were more clear and I was happier
I note Dreamweaver and Migraines and depression
I never had migraines, headaches or depression but I understand
