I know it happened along time ago,
But that doesn't mean anything...
Everyone says things happen for a reason.
Well what is the reason for getting raped??
I can still feel the tape in my mouth,
The rope around my wrists,
His hands holding me back,
And the tears rolling down my face.
I can still hear the screams coming out of my mouth,
The violent gestures from him,
And the wind blowing over my ripped clothes.
I can still feel the fear coursing through my mind and my body.
I can't get over all the shit that has been done.
I can't get over the loud voice from him when he grabbed me from the pavement.
Everyone tells me that "It's OK",
That "You'll get over it in time",
But it isn't something that just goes away within a certain period.
The memory of that day still seeps through my mind,
And the tears still roll down my face.
I don't want to remember,
But every time I walk down the street alone it all comes back.
How do you get over something like that?
He took the best part of me that day...
My Innocence.
The part of me that I wanted to be taken away by choice,
Not by force.
How do you cope with the past?
How do you cope with the fact that he is still out there getting away with that crime?
How do you get over the fact that the best part you used to have is gone and you can't get it back?
How do you cope with the past?

hey i know it's hard to deal with traumatising things and they don't ever go away. i wish i could say that they do, but they don't. you can block them out and try to forget, but sooner or later they still come back. I can't say it'll all be ok because it never will until you accept the pain and move on. that may not always help, either, everyone must deal with pain in their own way. and from one traumatised person to another it'll get harder the more you avoid the subject in your mind.things will get better with time. he did not take the only thing that is great about you you have many other traits that are esquisite. you are kind, pretty, and a good person under it all. I know i've seen that person inside you.
luh ya buddy

Touching in a personal way
Sammy i know what this feels like in a sense,but you're right it never goes away there is always that sadness and fear.But hold your head up high and be stronger than the memories,what you went through,what many others have been through have made them much more stronger,maybe not physically but mentally and in part emotionally.I know you have a strong spirit,and that is what will get you through the tough things life throws at you.I love you.
