The Monster
GROW Greatness Reached over Oppression through Wisdom
Mad Dog
Hindset is 20/20
Forgiveness is key
I was 10, just a kid when Momma met The Monster
She had 3 kids already when she met the Monster, me and my 2 Brothers,
then 1 by the Monster, the baby, her youngest
Turned out he was married but he wouldn’t let my Momma go
The Monster looked like a normal human being except he had 2 fingers halfway cut off so it looked like The Monster was always giving you the Finger Sign 🎵
Monsters don’t always look scary
And even Monsters can change but for this Monster Change came too late, Forgiveness would come first..
The Monster did so much to Us
💞💫💞💫💞💫💞
They want me to Block it out
Therefore, wipe it away, like it never happened to me
But it did
It happened to us,
I Lived with an Ike Turner except he was worse
He truly tried to kill us
My Momma was a Good WoMan who didn’t do nothing but work to try and take care of her kids
He would always beat her
In front of whoever, back then it was still mid normal for this type of behavior but EJ was
The Monsters name
For years Beatings
Police did next to nothing
She tried to leave him
She tried to get on with her life
She even met another Man
A Kind nice man who was nice to Us kids
He shot him at my aunts house and We never saw him again
Then he drove off with my Mother threatening to kill her is she ever tried to leave him again
A Married Man
One day my Mother brought us home from my aunts house, He was waiting on the porch,
Dressed up, when he dressed up thst meant bad news; he began in on her, no cell phones back then so he couldn’t call her
He went to the car to get his guns
He thought we ran in the streets but Momma hid us in the weeds all around the house
I held my baby sister, Holding her mouth to keep her from making a sound
I remember picking a grasshopper out of my shirt afterwards
He would beat my brothers so, till I cried for them
Once, he beat me and sent me to school
This was in the 70’s
My mother got a call from the Teacher,
he never whipped me again
It would be when I was 14 he turned the abuse again towards me
This was my Mother’s escape, he was sentenced to 4 years in prison
He died shortly after his release from prison in a very ironic way;
His own son shot him
I was 18 then, I saw him before he died
From being shot He was paralyzed in the rehabilitation center
His eyes were closed as Me and Momma went in
She walked up on one side of the bed and I on the other
All of a Sudden, EJ’s eyes flew open and for the first time ever, I saw fear in His eyes
In my eyes Forgiveness, I’m sure in Momma’s too
Without a word, Momma and I turned and left
to begin again our Journey to GROW💫💞
