Margaret Elaine Elgin "had more emotions to get out" in her latest book of poetry Switched at Birth.
She writes about her real-life anguish of being abused as a child and how she survived.
A week after I was born, in Germany, a couple came up and kidnapped me. And they are emotionally abusive. Don't look at me that way! I don't know what they are going to do to me! I am embarrassed.
Trapped, innocent and unnerved, in a spider's web. Lost and told that I am useless, nobody. A failure. It's not my fault. I love you.
Ah, the joy of a quiet life
With no strife.
