Trauma Of Rape

The pain that I feel is excruciating
               I can't move, my whole body is aching
               My insides feel like it's ripped apart
             Oh let's not talk about the pain in my heart

                 The pain that I feel is now numb
            The tears in my eyes fell quickly to the ground
             Now I can't breathe, I'm hyperventilating
              This was the case of rape, no mistaking
            The innocence of an eight year old is now taken

        Imagine a thirty two year old,holding down an eight year
                           old body
        Shoving his t-shirt in her mouth so she won't yell out for
                           nobody
              This was the case of a thirty two year old
        Pleasuring himself with the flesh of an eight year old young
                             soul

                  Lurking around my family night and day
                 He was my predator I was his young prey
             I punched and I kicked but his grip got stronger
           I can't belive this, he was like my father's brother

                   Pushing his manhood inside of me
            I felt pain and blood was rushing from inside of me
                  Now I have to live with this trauma
                   It's eating me up as I get older
                When I close my eyes to sleep at night
             I wake up with nightmares screaming in fright
       That is when I realize, this is something I have to live with
                            for life

    such a sad write... i am so sorry for what you had to endure but poetry always helps me get though times like those.....

    alittle to graphic for me... i know thats probably what happened to the letter but the way it was worded gave me images in my head that made me feel sick...
    i am so sorry that you were put through such a thing....

    wow! god bless your soul i was raped by my unkle too when i was about 8 years old and your right we do have to live with it our whole life and i was so lost because of this and i believe if this didn't happen to me i wouldn't be as strong as i am today
    i wish this pain on no body either it is so unfortiate but now i want to be a lawyer because of it so i can but the men like this behind bars for life i think that men shouldn't get just 7-8 years i think it should be charged as murder because almost every one i talk to says they are dieng inside if they arn't already dead!! well your words were very powerful and heartfelt sorry you had to go thru this and like i said be-4 god bless you soul hope one day you and not forget about it but not let it haunt you you have great talent and it is showcased well in this peice

    I know you must get this from everyone that reads this but I am sorry about what happened.It made me a little frightened to imagine that people would do this and that you have to live with this every day of your life.I did love the way you wrote the poem and the way you faced your fear to write it. You are brave and once again I am sorry for what happened to you.

    fantastic and so sad

    This poem is great but at the same time so heartbreaking. I know you have probably heard this way too much but I'm so sorry that this happened to you. It's good that you have a boyfriend to comfort you. If you ever need anything just contact me. Great write, keep it up!

    sighs This is so terrible..and I agree nobody should have to go through this. It leaves a huge impact on you forever, and it's impossible to forget. People always say "that can't happen to me"..turns out it could. Amazing job with describing the trauma, and aftermath of this..glad to see some people can talk about it. Awesome job, and keep up the good work.
