shower till the water runs cold
scrub your skin raw
you'll never get clean
you can't wash him away
curl up
as small as possible
under blankets
behind locked doors
you're still not safe
talk, write,
cry, cut, bleed
it won't help
once he forces himself inside you
you can't ever get him out

This was a very powerful poem. I think the title is too generic. Perhaps somethng more on the line of "You Stole My Childhood". If this is a true story, you gave us your pain. If this is your imagination, you can see inside the heart of an abuse victim. Very well done. The last two lines were particularly memorable. Once abuse happens, it stays with you always.

The victim in this poem isn't a child, so that doesn't really work. Besides I sorta like that the title is vague; you gotta read the poem to find out what it's about.

Wow this was so powerful. And wow I just don't know anything I could say that could possibly help. But it's so true once their in it's so hard to get them out, but you can get them out. Take care of your self.

Wow... I relate to this so much... this is a great poem, nonetheless. The flow was pretty nice, the wording was pretty good and I don't know, just loved it... a lot. Hmmm... maybe for a title, "Living Inside"? Not really good with titles =\ But great write, and if this is personal, I'm so sorry. You can talk to me anytime you need... sometimes it's easier to talk to strangers
