Safehaven

Sharon's Safehaven is a place where one can come to read about the realities of growing up in the 50's & 60's.

Many have stories that reflect the truth of our childhoods. The happy times we grab onto and the realities of the secrets inside our homes.

If we don't talk about it no one will ever know how prevelant the hidden truths of our youth haunt us yet today.

It takes courage to expose what went on in our homes while "Leave It To Beaver" and "Father Knows Best" were playing on the black & white TVs in our living rooms.

This can be a place to laugh, cry, tell your stories or write a poem. Share your photos if you'd like! The light will always be on.

Fragmented

Segments of life lost forever
Shattered fragments
Dissipated in the air as if powder

Lint collects on the memories
Shattered fragments
Shadowed in a veil of violence

Tattered dreams blurred by tears
Shattered fragments
Innocence stolen by loud voices

Dreaded night time loneliness
Shattered fragments
Sadness unveiled in dawn’s light

Shattered fragments
