Poem and pictures by Sharla Baer.

Hello. I am Sharla. I paint and draw emotions and life. I love music and art and old books. Coffee too, but I don’t think I’m addicted yet. The best part of my life is my fiance, Chadwick. He and I will be married this fall. This summer is full of planning and preparation. Sometimes, when I have the time, I write what I think about, and usually it is a subject that I feel very deeply about. Sexual abuse is one of those subjects. It is something that needs to be spoken about. Too often it is not. I’d like us all to do our part to break the silence.
Heartbreaking. Painful. 😠beautiful poetry. May we all, as God’s people, not ONLY hear the cries.
Thank you so,so much for your post. This is great, and sad at the same time. Children need to be protect from predators.
Thank you, Sharla!
Amen to all of this. As a survivor myself. I identify with it. I’m blogging about my own experiences: theseashes@wordpress.com
